At the initiative of the Ministry of Culture, the "Expomedia" Center
of Exhibition Projects has organized the "Expo Art" exhibition, which
presents the programs implemented in different spheres of art in 2008,
the cultural production, as well as the programs for 2009. Prime
Minister Tigran Sargsyan attended the opening of the exhibition today.
The Prime Minister was especially glad for the fact that there is
inspiration among artists. "The most important is that interesting
programs were presented in all pavilions, people were filled with
vigor and wished to have new achievements in 2009," Tigran Sargsyan
said, sharing his impressions from the exhibition.
The Prime Minister once again referred to the decision taken during
yesterday’s sitting of the Government on exempting carpet-makers from
paying profit and value-added taxes as a separate and important branch
of folk art.
"We think it will be a serious impetus for the maintenance and
development of the traditions of carpet-making. Other folk arts will
also be in the focus of our attention. Step by step we should create
favorable conditions for everyone in order to preserve our national
values," Tigran Sargsyan stated.
