Unrevealed Armenia
Astghik Yeloyan, 85, longs for the exquisite sites of Armenia that she saw in photos during a photo exhibition dedicated to the 19th anniversary of Armenia's independence.
"The Monastery of Tatev and over there is Shushi. These sites awakened pleasant memories of my youth. There was a time when we admired Armenia so much and now at least we remember those good days through photos," said Yeloyan.
The "Let's Recognize Armenia" exhibition showcases photos taken by youth participants of the homonymous program. The exhibition opened at Lovers' Park on September 20.
The youth have not only taken photos of the exquisite sits of Armenia and Nagorno-Karabakh, but all interesting phenomena that they noticed during the 16 expeditions.
One of the organizers of the "Let's Recognize Armenia" program Aram Derdzyan believes that the exhibition has a great mission because there are many unrevealed places in Armenia.
"Here you can see the sites worth seeing in our newly independent country. They are accessible to everyone, but many people don't know where they are located and that is exactly the mission of this exhibition," said Derdzyan.
Thirty of the 128 photos are by participant of the exhibition, organizer Sargis Bashikyan. What lured him to take part in the exhibition was that it was cognitive.
"For instance, few people have seen the waterfall of the Lastiv in Ijevan. I myself was amazed and admired the beauty. Whoever sees that photo is interested," says Sargis Bashikyan.
"We visited places that I had never been to. For instance, the Cave of Mozrov which 90% of people don't know about," says program participant Liana Turabyan.
Many visitors of the exhibition view the nature of the homeland in their own way.
"These photos are truly cognitive. I saw marvelous places that I would like to visit," said Marine Dabaghyan.
The exhibition will end tomorrow evening.
