Nagorno Karabakh was the focus of the Armenian National Committee of Australia's (ANCA) Exhibition Armenia poster display held at New South Wales State Parliament House on Tuesday.

On the 18th anniversary of the Liberation of Shushi - a key victory for the long-persecuted Armenians of Nagorno Karabakh on the way to the region's declaration of independence - over 20 NSW State legislators and representatives of Armenian community organizations attended the exhibit in the Jubilee Room.

The 32 posters on show guided attendees through Armenia's rich history and culture, its Christian heritage, its bloody battles, its achievements, Armenia today and Armenia tomorrow. The Armenian Genocide and the Armenian Relief Fund of Australia were given key focus, while Nagorno Karabakh was discussed for the first time in NSW State Parliament House, ANCA told PanARMENIAN.Net.

ANC Australia Political Relations Officer Vache Kahramanian said: "Nagorno Karabakh is recognized by Armenians as the heart and soul of the Armenian nation. Its history and current status is something we wish to share with our friends in NSW Parliament and the NSW Legislative Council."
