The Armenian Embassy in Jakarta, in collaboration with the Antara News Agency, launched a photo book entitled “Armenia: Land of Legend” to introduce Armenia to the Indonesian people, Antara agency reported. 

“Geographically, Armenia’s population is indeed small when compared to Indonesia. It also has almost no historical connections. But the real challenge is to explain the wealth of natural beauty and Armenian culture to the Indonesian community extensively,” Director of Antara News Agency Meidyatama Suryodiningrat said here on Tuesday.

The Ambassador of Armenia to Indonesia, Dziunik Aghajanian, also hoped that the photo book could become an entry for Indonesian people who did not know Armenia comprehensively.

“Despite the historic presence of Armenian community in Indonesia throughout several centuries, nowadays, for many Indonesians, Armenia is an unknown terrain. I hope this book will be an introduction for those whose inquisitive mind will draw them to this hidden jewel called Armenia, one of the ancient countries, and its people rich in history, culture, and traditions,” the ambassador stated.

“Armenia: Land of Legend” is called a photo book because around 70 percent of its content showcases selected photos, while the remaining presents articles about the richness of the Armenian history, culture, and scenic beauty.
