“Holy Armenia: Come Home” has opened

“The Armenian Year in France has turned into a real victory,” said Serge Smesov, France’s ambassador in Armenia, during opening ceremonies of the “Holy Armenia: Come Home” exhibition. In his words, the exhibition gives Frenchmen and others the opportunity to come and see the worth of Armenia’s cultural and historical monuments.

Foreign minister Vardan Oskanyan, also present at the ceremonies, also highly rated the exhibition, saying, “We presented Armenian culture in Paris, and since this happened in such an important place, we can safely say we presented our culture internationally.”

As part of the Parisian “Holy Armenia” exhibition, two hundred samples from the Matenadaran and the Armenian History Museum, including 32 khachkars from the 4th to 18th century, were displayed. We add that this exhibition was also presented in London.
