Exhibition
SHUSHI IS WAITING…
Representatives of Armenian intelligentsia with roots in Shushi and
participants of Shushi liberation gathered recently at Aram Khachatrian Home
Museum to take part in opening of an exhibition titled “Pride, Sorrow, Hope
Originating From Shushi History”. Paintings and photos of 19th and early
20th centuries represented Shushi’s beauty, town’s unique coloring and its
people. The organizer of the exhibition, “Zard” Cultural Union, borrowed the
photos from diverse albums and personal collections. Aram Khachatrian’s
music accompanying the display made it more interesting. Members of “Zard”
Union and co-chair of “Shushi” Fund writer Bakur Karapetian told about the
town-fortress of Shushi. Mr. Karapetian shared as well with the projects of
studying Shushi’s cultural legacy. Specialists have already completed
registering, gauging and computer imaging of 525 monuments of Shushi and
surrounding territories. At the same time, specialists are collecting
archive documents dealing with Shushi. The Fund is going to hold an
international contest for layouts of the town’s two zones.
