In her welcome speech, Nazaryan emphasized that Gyumri’s journey of rediscovering its former charm and rising from the rubble and ashes should inspire boundless creativity, continuous innovation, perseverance, and the pursuit of building a brighter future.
“The 'Documenting the Century' exhibition of archival photographs is a unique visual journey, offering us a chance to recreate in our minds all the significant events we have heard about, read about, felt deeply, prayed for, and lived through,” said Nazaryan.
She added that Armenpress, the state news agency, is 106 years old, and this year marks the 65th anniversary of the Armenpress photo service.
The exhibition will also be presented in other regions of the republic in the near future.
