Photos shot recently and in 2000-2003 are displayed beside 100 to 150
years old pictures, showing how churches and sculptures were turned into
mosques, cattle sheds or completely destroyed.
The exhibition and conference are organized by the Hay
Djampa France organization and the National Council of
Armenians from Western Armenia.
Very few people know what is currently happening in occupied Western
Armenia. These actions aim at making our compatriots and the
international public opinion aware of the physical aggression still
suffered by the Armenian people, 90 years after the Genocide.
It is considered to put the exhibition at the disposal of several
countries. Moreover, the organizers are thinking over the preparation of
a resolution denouncing these exactions to international organizations,
this resolution being the final objective of the conference programme in
France.
Once more, in 2005, the most elementary rights of a several thousand
years old nation are denied by a government which is the heir of the
most odious crimes. It is thus necessary to apply the democratic rights
to everyone, including the Armenians from Western Armenia, descendants
of the Genocide survivors.
