YEREVAN, SEPTEMBER 29, ARMENPRESS: On the initiation of Armenian cultural center Nuart, Armenian cultural days were held in Belgian Antwerp from Sept 16 to 22 dedicated to the day of independence in Armenia, Armenian culture and youth affairs ministry publishing agency head Eduard Militonian told Armenpress.
In his words, singers from Armenia performed for Belgian public as well as Armenian, Belgian and Check groups from Antwerp came up with their national dances. A newly established non-profit organization in Antwerp, Kenats Tun, presented samples of carpets and applied art in their building. Recently published books in Armenia were exhibited in Antwerp university. Some 150 exhibited books together with Militonian’s personal contribution of 200 books were donated to the library of Nuart cultural center library. Near a cross-stone symbolizing Armenian-Belgian friendship, a singer Sofi performed Armenian medieval songs.
In E. Militonian terms, organization of such evens is imported for poorly organized Armenian community in Belgium for preservation of Armenian identity and national self-consciousness. He also noted that it was the first ever such big event organized in that community and the organizers try to make it annual.
