Interesting interpretation of a folk song

Antsnink Sasun, mednenk Van....by Arev Ensemble

When one sees the destruction of our churches, cultural institutions and heritage(while the civilized world is incapable of stopping the destruction of these treasured cultural monuments), then, we can only heed the advice of the author of this song to go back and put a stop to the barbaric destruction of our cultural treasures, rebuild what's being destroyed, and reclaim what was lost.
A very energetic rendition of a wonderful song.

Աննա Մայիլյան, Mesrob Mashdots

A song written by Mesrob Mashdots who invented the Armenian alphabet, performed by Anna Mayilian. I'll let the opening and closing scenes speak by itself about the cultural destruction of the turks of Armenian churches/schools/literature/music etc. Cultural genocide that is continuing to this day. How many thousands of songs were lost? How many are awaiting to be rescued/discovered and performed again?
