Nagorno Karabakh was the focus of the Armenian National Committee
of Australia’s (ANCA) Exhibition Armenia poster display held at New
South Wales State Parliament House on Tuesday.

On the 18th anniversary of the Liberation of Shushi – a key victory for
the long-persecuted Armenians of Nagorno Karabakh on the way to the
region’s declaration of independence – over 20 NSW State legislators
and representatives of Armenian community organizations attended the
exhibit in the Jubilee Room.

The 32 posters on show guided attendees through Armenia’s rich
history and culture, its Christian heritage, its bloody battles,
its achievements, Armenia today and Armenia tomorrow. The Armenian
Genocide and the Armenian Relief Fund of Australia were given key
focus, while Nagorno Karabakh was discussed for the first time in
NSW State Parliament House, ANCA told PanARMENIAN.Net

ANC Australia Political Relations Officer Vache Kahramanian said:
"Nagorno Karabakh is recognized by Armenians as the heart and soul
of the Armenian nation. Its history and current status is something
we wish to share with our friends in NSW Parliament and the NSW
Legislative Council."
