/PanARMENIAN.Net/ On August 23 Italian restorers will arrive to
Armenia to continue restoration works on the "Birth of Toros Roslin"
fresco of Minas Avetisian.

In 2007 the Armenian government allocated 5 million 578.6 thousand AMD
to restore the fresco of Minas Avetisian , preserved in the territory
of the Gyumri electrotechnical plant.

Thanks to the efforts of the Armenian sculptor living in Florence Vigen
Avetisyan the ministry of culture of Armenia invited professionals
from Palazzo Spinelli Institute of Restoration (Italy) to carry out
necessary works.

Restoration started in summer of 2008. The second phase of works
continued in autumn last year, when the fresco was replaced to the
museum of Minas Avetisian, the village of Jajur.

“I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
