“Armenian Pastoral”, a 1973 mural by famed Armenian artist Minas Avetisyan that was destroyed in the 1988 earthquake is being painstakingly restored under an agreement signed by the cultural ministries of Italy and Armenia.
A group of Gyumri artists have come out to question the government's decision to hand over two murals by the noted artists Minas Avetisyan to the Armenia International Airlines Company on condition that they be restored and installed at the Erebuni Airport in Yerevan.
