    INGO-ARMENIA INSURES PICTURES OF ITALIAN PAINTER ANSELMO FRANCESCONI

    ArmInfo. INGO ARMENIA Insurance Company has insured pictures of
    the Italian painter Anselmo Francesconi on a topic of the Armenian
    Genocide, to be exhibited in the National Gallery on April 25, 2010.

    According to the company, insurance to the total sum of over 600,000
    Euro is provided by the insurer free-of-charge.

    According to international requirements, as well as in line with
    Armenian legislation, cultural values must be insured for the period
    of carriage. However, in view of the growing interest by private
    collectors and their not always authorized actions on acquisition of
    exhibits, the 'nail to nail' insurance becomes popular in the world,
    i.e. insurance coverage is provided to the museum pieces for the
    whole period of exhibition, including transportation and exhibition.

    According to Nora Davtyan, Deputy Head of Cultural Heritage and
    Cultural Values Department of Armenia, necessity of insuring museum
    pieces for the period of exhibition has ripened long since. "Regular
    cases of stealing from national museums indicate the necessity
    of strengthening the security system and resorting to services of
    insurers, especially taking into account a priceless collection of
    historical cultural values", the expert said.

    INGO ARMENIA Director Levon Altunyan also emphasized the importance
    of cooperation of insurance companies and Ministry of Culture which
    contribute to enhancement of the level of trust by foreign exhibition
    centers and stimulate interest to Armenia. He added that the Company
    has been insuring museum pieces and other cultural values on nail to
    nail insurance programme since 2009. Ministry of Culture and National
    Gallery have a great experience of work with local insurers.

    Cooperation with INGO ARMENIA started in 2004. In 2009, on the
    proposal of Ministry of Culture, INGO ARMENIA appeared a sponsor having
    allocated 3.6 mln drams for reconstruction of Tatev monastery's door.

    To note, 18 pictures of Italian artist Anselmo Francesconi will be
    presented at the exhibition dedicated to the 95th anniversary of the
    Armenian Genocide. According to the preliminary data, the pictures
    will remain in Armenia in the Armenian Genocide Museum.
