The ancestral home of Minas Avetisyan, a renowned Armenian painter of the 20th century will be reconstructed in Jajur village in north of Armenia. The respective agreement has been reached at the meeting of the RA Urban Development Committee Vahagn Vermishyan and the Chairman of the Board of Trustees of “Minas Avetisian” Foundation Arman Avetisyan.

It has been noted that the architecture of the historical building will be preserved. The initiative will be carried out as part of ongoing initiatives to develop Jajur community. 

Emil Lazarian: “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
