7 Dec 04
The year of 2005 is declared to be a year of Armenian culture and
art in France. Armenian writers, musicians and artists all over the
world will gather in the “center of the world”.
Henrik Igitian, president of Children’s Aesthetic Center, who left
for Paris on December 1 to carry out preliminary works, said on this
occasion: “Our cruel history taught us the art of hardship. Our life
was never easy one. Even if there were no external barriers we created
our own ones. The history spread Armenians all over the world, but
I am sure that we should overcome the terms of “Armenia’s
culture” and “Diaspora’s culture”.
The State Gallery and Matenadaran, depository of ancient Armenian
manuscripts, are also invited to participate at the program. Henrik
Igitian was surprised not the see the Museum of Armenian History
and the Aesthetic Center included in the list of delegations leaving
for France.
