"Birth of Toros Roslin" fresco created by Minas Avetisyan in 1973
is recovered. About one year Italian specialists Lorenzo Kasameti
and Fabriccio Yakupini worked hard to recover the original colors
of Avetisyan.

Armena Avetisyan, the director of Minas Museum and the artist’s son
and Sona Harutyunyan, the consultant of culture minister met reporters
in Djadjur.

The fresco hanging over the wall is ready to perform its
originality. It is said that the recovering activities were difficult
enough. Artist’s son said that the fresco had 20% of loss when the
recovering activities were launched.

Specialists said that when they started their job they noticed it
was not an ease. The work differed as Minas used the unity of the
colors as a naïve painter, but at the same time his colors belonged
to a great artist.

In September the official opening of the fresco will be conducted. It
is said that Minas jubilee exhibition will be launched in Moscow also,
where the fresco will be performed.
