In his difficult condition, he did not forget the Armenian nation. He is charged for a crime, but he says that he is innocent.<\/p>\n<p>On July 22, 2011, Anders Brejvik orchestrated a bombing in the government district of Oslo, then engaged himself in a mass shooting at the youth camp of Norway&#8217;s Labor Party at Utoya Island. As a result of the terrorist act, 77 people died. Before the act, Brejvik published his lengthy manifesto titled &#8220;283 Independence European Declaration&#8221; where he presented his anti-Islamic ideas. The manifesto has sections on Armenians and the Armenian Genocide.<\/p>\n<p>Giqinyan&#8217;s painting has become a topic of heated discussions on social media. Nonetheless, the 70-year-old painter does not believe that he did anything wrong.<\/p>\n<p>The administration of the Painters&#8217; Union believes that the commotion around the paining is a provocation against the newly elected executive board of the Union. Chairman Suren Safaryan believes that the painting is perplexing and unacceptable, however he asserts that the Painters&#8217; Union is not the organizer of the exhibition, it has only provided the venue and has no right to ban a painter to exhibit any work.<\/p>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8211; Because he said, &#8220;Glory to Armenia&#8221; that we have survived, you what kind of a place we live in, we were being swallowed already.
