The soul of a people is revealed more fully in its architecture than in
any other way. Lucy Der Manuelian.
Architecture is not a technical phenomenon; it is the expression of the
deepest thoughts, sentiment and activities of buman beings in all their
complesity. Armen Khatchatrian.
Buildings provide the most tangible and concrete legacy of a past
civilization. They are historical "documents," no les 50 than written
documents; in some cases they even speak with a clearer voice than the written
word. Cyril Mango.
We know of few countries with a history as turbulent as that of
Armenia ravaged by wars and invasions and occupied by foreign powers
which were often enemies of her religion -- which have leftso rich an artistic
heritage. Sirarpie Der Nersessian.
Monuments such as the cathedral at Ani and the wondrous
masterpiece of Aghtamar are in danger of collapse through sheer neglect.
