ARMENIAN KHACHKAR IN POLAND
Support A1+!The Polish Republic tries to prove by action that they want not cooperation but friendship with Armenia. After the recognition of the Armenian Genocide by the Seym on April 15 Poland made the next step.
Some days ago in the town of Elblong in the Gdansk region an Armenian 2-meter high khachkar was opened with the image of the Bible on it and with the inscription in Armenian and Polish, “Devoted to the memory of the victims of the Genocide and the Armenian-Polish friendship”. The khachkar was put in the yard of the Saint Yerzhi Church. By the way, during the ceremony, it was wrapped by the Armenian and Polish flags.
A delegation of four people from Armenia participated in the ceremony. Member of the delegation Aghasi Arshakyan claimed that the ceremony was a unique democratic initiative as everything was done free of charge, on charity basis. Only the NA spent money to pay for the visit to Poland.
It is noteworthy that the author of the khachkar, sculptor Robert Hovsepyan too did not take money for his work.
