Trade is based on understanding the value of each culture in order to exchange wealth in a reciprocating manner. <BR/><BR/>Armenians in the past did not build empires imposing their values on others, but built famous trading caravans, the outposts of which still exist in Eastern Europe.<BR/><BR/>Their 3000 years of culture was disrupted severely in 1915 by the attempted genocide and depopulation of their ancestral lands of Western Armenia in the eastern part of present day Turkey. Their historical landmarks and cultural monuments in Western Armenia are in disrepair. Fortunately Turkey reconstructed the Church of St. Cross one such landmark on Akhtamar by UNESCO’s demand. The works were launched in 2005 and accomplished in August 2006. The inauguration is scheduled for March 29, 2007.
