On September 3 the exhibition of Alexander Tamanyan, the famous
Armenian architect who build Yerevan, was opened at the Palace of
Culture and Youth in Stepanakert. The exhibition was initiated by
the Museum Institute of Alexander Tamanyan and the NKR ministry of
education, culture and sport, and sponsored by the Base Metals company.

The speaker of the Karabakh parliament Ashot Ghulyan, foreign minister
Georgy Petrosyan, and the grandsons of the great architect Haik and
Ara Tamanyan were present at the opening ceremony.

Haik Tamanyan said: "We acknowledged the importance of this event and
we tried our hardest to introduce the works by Alexander Tamanyan
to Karabakh duly." He said this is the first exhibition "abroad"
and perhaps the last because the exhibits are highly fragile and may
easily be spoiled.

The visitors of the exhibition learn about the life of the great
architect, and watch a film about the architect.
