/PanARMENIAN.Net/ The roots of Armenian history falsification go deep
in Ukraine, especially as far as the Biographies of Ukraine Armenians
are concerned. Thus, according to Ukraine’s National Reporters Union
member Samvel Azizyan, the seascape painter’s name was Gayvazovskiy,
and not Ayvazovski at all. "According to the painter’s earlier
biographers, his father and siblings lived nearby Lvov. Ayvazovski left
them, having quarreled over their father’s inheritance. Upon becoming
a painter, Ayvazovski portrayed not only the Ukrainian sea, but also
Ukrainian landscapes and mountains. The painter designed his Crimean
estate of Shakh Mamai so it would remind him of Ukrainian hamlets,
so dear to his heart."
According to David Davtyan , ANALITIKA.at.ua Informational and
Analytical Agency expert, the author, possibly, has no idea,
which period he was describing, as at that period the Ukrainian
nation was struggling for its right to freedom of speech and
expression. Ayvazovski lived among Armenians and was surrounded by
Armenian realities.
The biography goes on like this: "Ayvazovski was a great patriot of
Feodosia. Thanks to his efforts, the city was provided with water
supply system and opened a museum of paintings and artifacts. Strange
as it is, the painter created very true-to life portrayals of Ararat
though he’d never been to Armenia and never saw the mountain. But his
heart was always in the country of his ancestors, and he was creating
with all of his thoughts about Armenia."
"All through his preposterous article the author said no word about
Armenian soul of the artist, his Armenian spirit and attachment to
Armenian nation, reflected in his works. It’s rather shameful that
such articles exist just because of an attempt to please someone,
to the detriment of the truth," Davtyan emphasized.
