AKHALQALAQ DOES NOT NEED HISTORY

 

The Akhalqalaq Museum of Regional Studies is the only one in the Akhalqalaq

region. With its unique exhibits it carries out a special role in the

Javakhq cultural life.

 

There are five parts in the Museum - friendship of nations, Javakhq history,

Javakhq ethnography, war glory, the Soviet period and that of intellectuals.

 

One of the unique exhibits of the Museum is the sun calendar. At the same

time it must be mentioned that because of ignorance and absence of financing

exhibits are disappearing from the Museum. During the 70s the copper cannons

of Paskevich's time disappeared from the Museum.

 

Hakob Hambaryan, head of the Museum mentions that if there is a small

possibility of state care towards the Museum, they can not only protect what

is left, but find the lost exhibits and bring new ones to the Museum.

 

According to the agency "A-info", the state of the Museum building is much

graver. It was built in 1830s and is now considered subject for

deconstructing, and it can be destroyed any time. Mels Mahtesyan, deputy

governor of the Akhalqalaq region mentions that the reconstructing of the

building is meaningless and the Museum needs a new building. The directors

of the Museum have no hope of getting help from the state. And the regional

deputy governor hoped that thee Javakhqians living in Moscow will try to

save the only museum of the Akhalqalaq region.
