PR-expert offers to change consumer notion of Armenia with interactive one abroadMay 17, 2007 - 16:06 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - In the west and particularly in Germany Armenia is known only by the Genocide and less by the conflict in Nagorno Karabakh, German expert of PR-technologies with Armenian descent Dr. Vazrik Bazil stated to a press conference in Yerevan. He said, Armenia, her culture and modern public life was best presented at the World Exhibition in Hanover in 2000. "Almost nothing is being done from then on. Few people know about the Armenian culture and traditions in Germany. Unfortunately, Armenians treat the culture in consumer way: there are no thematic exhibitions, nothing is on the way to propaganda Armenian culture and history. All these reflected on perception of the country in the eyes of the western society," Vazrik Bazil stressed, offering to change consumer notion of Armenia with interactive one abroad. In particular, he offered to present the national and historic values of the country via modern methods and technologies. V. Bazil said the idea of "game" plays a very important role here. Say, the same national dances, history of the country will be better perceived by the audience if presented via game elements. Vazrik Bazil also underlined, for example, an ordinary European citizen will not perceive that the circle dance has Armenian origin - it can be an African or Turkish dance for him. "We must show that it is namely an Armenian dance. And like this in all spheres. Armenians of Diaspora and Armenia confuse the notions of past and traditions - here lies the main mistake of presenting the country abroad," the German political scientist said.
