A photo exhibition dedicated to the motto of 2024 “The Fount of Wisdom of Magtymguly Fragi” and the 300th anniversary of the outstanding classic of Turkmen literature Magtymguly Fragi has opened in Yerevan.
The organizers were the Embassy of Turkmenistan in the Republic of Armenia and the Union of Artists of Armenia. The photo exhibition was located in the hall named after Saryan, which is very symbolic, because Martiros Saryan, one of the great Armenian artists of the XX century, visited Turkmenistan in 1934 and created a series of paintings there, imbued with love for the East, the Turkmen diplomatic mission said in a statement.
Ambassador of Turkmenistan to Armenia Muhammetgeldi Ayazov, opening the event, noted that the brilliant poet, philosopher and thinker Magtymguly Fragi left his descendants an immortal literary heritage that has become part of world culture and the property of all mankind.
-The wisdom of Fraga is a song of unity, a call for peace, friendship and brotherhood, a school of patriotism, - said Ayazov. – With his poems, the poet calls on all generations to unity, reverence for traditions and spiritual values, to humanism, patriotism, honesty and justice.
The ambassador also reminded that the works of Magtymguly Fragi were translated into Armenian and published in 1959, 1983 and 2014.
Among the guests was the poet-translator Varuzhan Hastur, the author of brilliant translations from the original. At Ayazov's request, Hastur recited one of his translations.
