BARBARIAN ACTIVITIES OF NEW JUGHA INTRODUCED TO INTERNATIONAL
CONFERENCE OF NATIONAL TRUSTS
YEREVAN, DECEMBER 14, NOYAN TAPAN. This year for the first time Armenia
as well has taken part in the 12th International Conference of National
Funds called National Trusts, which was held in New Delhi, the capital
of the Republic of India, between December 3 and 5.
The National Trust is a charitable organization founded at the end of
the 19th century in England, which is involved in the preservation and
restoration of the national culture and historical-cultural monuments.
Homonimic organizations bearing a close resemblance to the
above-mentioned organization have been created in 40 countries of the
world. The conferences of the International Conference of National
Trusts are convocated once in two years in one of the countries, which
has founded National Trusts.
As Gagik Gyurjian, the RA Deputy Minister of Culture and the Head of
the Armenian delegation, stated at the press conference held on
December 13, delegations from 54 countries of the world have taken part
in the conference and have discussed issues concerning the preservation
of immovable and movable cultural values and historical-cultural
monuments, the reproduction of living and non-material cultural values,
as well as many other issues concerning this sphere.
In the words of Gagik Gyurjian, it was very important for the Armenian
delegation to take part in "The preservation of cultural heritage in
natural disaster and conflict zones" sitting since the Azeri side had
already started to spread regular misinformation on the Azeri monuments
allegedly being destroyed in "the territories captured" by Armenia.
The Deputy Minister declared that the report of Mkrtich Zardarian, a
chief scientific worker of the Institute of Ethnography and Archeology
of the National Academy of Sciences, has completely arranged the
situation, by thoroughly introducing the complete fact of the
destruction of the khachkars (commemorative cross-stone) of Jugha, as
well as the non-operative policy displayed towards that question by the
international structures for the preservation of cultural monuments. In
addition to this, the video cassette of the "Jugha" documentary film
and the brochure with photos were distributed to the participants.
At the end of the 12th International Conference of National Trusts the
International National Trusts Organization was established on the
initiative of the participants. Not having a corresponding national
organization, according to Gagik Gyurjian, Armenia cannot become a
member of the International Conference of National Trusts as yet,
however, at present measures are being taken in that direction.
