For the past eight years, Hayk Barseghyan has been living right above Vachagan village in Syunik. His home is near Mount Khustup, in a place called Pskhu Khut. As a photographer always in search of beauty, he discovered this area and has been bringing it to life through his lens. Near his home, Hayk is building a “Gitatachar”, meaning “knowledge shrine”. He means to turn it into a sanctuary for learning, open to all. Watch CivilNet’s video from Khustup.
