ArmInfo. The magic of Belarus is presented in the spacious vestibules of the underground stations of the Yerevan Metro through the illustrations of BelTA photographers at the 1st Armenian International Photo Festival.

According to RG, photographers from 20 countries participate in this  unique exhibition, including from Belarus, Denmark, Italy, the United  Arab Emirates, Russia, the USA, France, Japan and Switzerland.  The  scale of the festival is proportional to the underground labyrinths  of the Yerevan subway. Tablets with photographs of exhibitors are  displayed in 39 pavilions: in Zvartnots airport, the residence of the  president, in the Museum of Hovhannes Tumanyan, at two stations of  the Yerevan Metro and in a number of other buildings.

In particular, the photos by Belarusian journalists are exhibited at  the Marshal Baghramyan metro station.  According to the CEO of the  agency Irina Akulovich, this has its own deep symbolism. After all,  the name of the famous Marshal of the Great Victory is well known in  Belarus. "This commander has done a lot to liberate our country," she  said.

According to the Armenian Ambassador to Belarus Armen Ghevondyan,  such festivals expand the spiritual space of the audience. They  emphasize a deep historical connection with the cultural traditions  inherent in every nation. The exhibition of Belarusian photographs,  the diplomat is convinced, gives people the opportunity to get  acquainted with Belarus for the first time to feel, on the one hand,  the identity and diversity of the Belarusian culture, and on the  other, to feel how much common are the history and culture of the two  Orthodox peoples.

His colleague, Ambassador of Belarus to Armenia Igor Nazaruk, agrees  with this statement. According to him, the significance of the  exhibition lies in the fact that it provided another opportunity to  experience the features of the spiritual world of Belarusians, their  culture and national traditions.
