Though the exhibition is officially dedicated to Karen Demirchyan, with this exhibition we commemorate and tribute all the people who contributed to the creation of this heritage: eminent talented architects, designers, builders, workers. People can't live only with the present: memory takes them to the past, and hopes take them to the future and the moral demands passing the past to the future-this is the main idea of the exhibition", said Rima Demirchyan.
