/PanARMENIAN.Net/ The events scheduled in the framework of the Year of
Armenia in France are held successfully and at a high level, RA
President’s assistant, coordinator of the Year of Armenia in France
Vigen Sargsyan said. `The program is rich but the list of events was
enlarged from 500 to 600 due to high interest,’ he said. Exhibitions
of Parajanov and Saryan’s works as well as those dedicated to
architectural heritage of Armenia’s 12 capitals have already opened
and draw great popular attention.
`The exhibits of the State Museum of Ethnography of Armenia in
Sardarapat also aroused big interest just as like the exhibition of
universally known painter of sea-scapes of Armenian origin Ivan
Ayvazovsky hosted by the Navy Museum in Paris,’ Sargsyan said. Among
the planned events he mentioned exhibition of church dressing and
plates in Lyon, exhibition of Matenadaran’s ancient manuscripts as
well as four exhibitions of modern art, the first of which to be
opened in Nice February 21. `It’s remarkable that Armenian modern
painters not only from Armenia but from other states will be presented
at the exhibition,’ he remarked.
Sargsyan also said that a conference dedicated to information
technologies scheduled for late February will offer Armenian companies
an opportunity to represent their activities and establish business
contacts, reports newsarmenia.ru
