Tsitsernakaberd hill, Yerevan / Armenia, 2017

comment on Flickr Alain Canaque Every year on 24 April, the Armenian Genocide Remembrance Day, thousands of Armenians gather at the memorial to commemorate the victims of the genocide. The people who gather in Tsiternakaberd lay fresh flowers out of respect for all the people who died in the Armenian genocide. canaque,analog,film,35mm,armenia,yerevan,genocide,flowers,tsiternakaberd All Rights Reserved

Nur (Pomegranate), 2022

comment on Flickr Alain Canaque 15 days already that the Latchin corridor, the only road to Artsakh, is closed by Azerbaïdjan!!!... This is now the world we live in : no rules.... Laws are trampled. Every nation has its national symbols and its own culture. One of the symbols of Armenian culture, the pomegranate, or Nur in Armenian, symbolizes fertility, abundance, and good fortune in Armenian mythology. In ancient Armenia, Nur also symbolized eternity. canaque,artsakh,karabakh,mobile,nur,pomegranate,latchin,corridor,armenia,arménie All Rights Reserved

Mayr Hayastan – Erevan, Armenia, 2016

comment on Flickr Alain Canaque Mother Armenia (Armenian: Մայր Հայաստան Mayr Hayastan) is a female personification of Armenia. Her most public visual rendering is a monumental statue in Victory Park overlooking the capital city of Yerevan, Armenia. The Mother Armenia statue symbolises peace through strength. Its location on a hill overlooking Yerevan makes it look like a guardian of the Armenian capital. canaque,armenia,arménie,bw,analog,35,erevan,yerevan,mother,hayastan,mayrig,leica All Rights Reserved

comment on Flickr Alain Canaque The Temple of Garni was constructed by Trdat I in the 1st century AD. The temple itself was built on top of an Urartian temple. So Trdat dedicated this temple to the sun goddess Mythra. That is why this temple is the true and unique masterpiece. Garni Temple is Armenia’s only Greco-Roman-style building. After the adoption of Christianity, it became the summer residence of Khosorovdukht, the sister of King Trdat III. It is one of the most ancient landmarks in Kotayk and whole Armenia which has survived since pagan period. canaque,armenia,arménie,garni,temple,mythra All Rights Reserved

April 24th, Genocide memorial — Yerevan (Armenia) 2017

comment on Flickr Alain Canaque Not only were Armenians who were in the Ottoman Army killed and their property confiscated, 300 leading Armenian officials and community leaders were arrested on April 24, 1915 to be executed later. This is why Armenians commemorate this great tragedy on April 24th every year. This day is generally known to be the start of the Armenian Genocide and what followed in the coming months and year was the systematic massacre of up to 1.5 million Armenians. The goal of the Ottoman Empire was to eliminate all Armenians. canaque,armenia,arménie,genocide,flowers All Rights Reserved
