Armenian premier congratulates winners of 56th International Art Exhibition of la Biennale di Venezia
Armenia won the Golden Lion for Best National Participation at the 56th International Art Exhibition of la Biennale di Venezia, on May 9.
Fifty-three countries participated in the event.
“The Armenian exhibition was dedicated to the Armenian Genocide centenary. Eighteen Armenian artists participated in the exhibition. With different ways of thinking and esthetic tastes, they are unanimous due to their patriotism. Descendants of Armenian Genocide survivors, united round one idea, were able to show the world who Armenians are, what is their potential and how Armenian art can integrate into world culture,” Armenia’s Premier Hovik Abrahamyan said at a cabinet meeting on Thursday.
He congratulated the Armenian participants on their victory.
