    FIRST PHOTO EXHIBITION "POVERTY IN ARMENIA" OPENED IN YEREVAN

    YEREVAN, June 3. /ARKA/. The first photo exhibition "Poverty in
    Armenia" has been opened in Yerevan. Lusine Torosyan, Executive,
    "Poverty in Armenia" program, reported that the exhibition is aimed
    at informing the public of the problems of individuals and families
    living in abject poverty. About 100 works by Ruben Mangasaryan and
    Herman Avagyan are displayed at the exhibition, which is to last for a
    week. The pictures were made in different Armenian regions. The authors
    said that they wished to show the public the faces of Armenia's poor
    people, who, however, can be happy as well. "Poverty is being much
    talked of, figures are being cited, but visual information is hardly
    provided," Mangasaryan said. He also expressed a hope that the program
    will cause people to change their attitude to poverty.

    The program envisages the organization of four exhibitions, three of
    them in Armenia's regions. Twelve slide-shows will also be organized.

    The exhibition has been organized by the Caucasian Institute of Mass
    Media, with the sponsorship of the small grant program implemented
    by the World Bank and the Institute of Open Society. The exhibitions
    in Armenia's regions will be sponsored by the World Vision Armenia
    office. P.T. -0--
