/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Photo reporter Anush Babakajanyan Saturday opened
her personal exhibition in Urbat (Friday) press club.

In her 70 photos, the author depicted the lives of people living in
temporary huts 21 years after Spitak earthquake.

`Having spent several years in Gyumri, I saw the complicated life of
people living in those huts. And I decided to make the problem visible
to others, as the majority of Armenia’s population does not even
imagine what is going on in their neighborhood,’ the artist told a
PanARMENIAN.NET reporter.

The exhibition organized by `Third Nature’ NGO, with the assistance of
Open Society Institute, will last till December 13.

`We found Anush ourselves. She already has a series of photos included
in today’s exposition. And since housing issue in disaster zone still
remains unresolved we decided to show the problem to those living
beyond the zone.’

Anush Babajanyan was born in Yerevan in 1983. She has graduated from
the American University in Bulgaria, Faculty of Journalism.
