    The prime minister attends an exhibition dedicated to Tigran the
    Great`s 2150th anniversary



    Prime Minister Tigran Sargsyan attended today the inauguration of an
    exhibition in the National Picture Gallery of Armenia, entitled `One
    work' and dedicated to the 2150th anniversary of Tigran the Great.

    Actions on the Armenian monarch's 2150th anniversary are held under
    the Premier's high patronage. Today's event was attended by Minister
    of Defense Seiran Ohanyan, Primate of Ararat Patriarchal Diocese
    Archbishop Navasard Kchoyan.

    The head of government toured the stands getting acquainted with the
    works of 84 authors: both picturesque and sculptural works, as well as
    excavation findings brought in from Tigranakert of Artsakh. The best
    exhibit will be awarded Vardges Surenyants-150 silver medal.

    Following the ceremony of opening, Tigran Sargsyan told the
    journalists: `Marking today the 2150th anniversary of Tigran the
    Great, we seek to reassess the importance of his legacy for our people
    and its history. Speaking about Tigran the Great, we mean the commonly
    shared dream of the Armenian people, the idea of a mighty and powerful
    homeland which is forever associated with the name of Tigran the
    Great.'

    Tigran Sargsyan went on to emphasize that the example set by Tigran
    the Great used to inspire Armenians in their fight for reinstatement
    of statehood. "It is such a great potential as has always inspired the
    people of Armenia to regain sovereignty, and finally succeeded. In
    general, while looking into Tigran the Great's history, we can see
    hosts of episodes which seem to be actual today.'

    The Prime Minister emphasized the fact that the site of Artsakh's
    Tigranakert is excavated by Armenian experts.
