The presentation was held on May 27 at the bookstore-cafe "Art Bridge". According to the organizers, it was attended by over 50 persons.

The album "Road to Victory" presents photographs taken by Ashot Muradyan during the rallies of the Karabakh movement in 1988 and the Nagorno-Karabakh war of 1991-1994. It also includes photos of the 1988 earthquake and the blockade of Armenia in early 1990s.
