AUDIENCE DIDN’T LEAVE THE HALLS

Has it crossed anyones mind that the reason for this success is the fact that there is a large Armenian population in Russia and escpessially the major centres like Moscow. All I am aware of is the acute ethnic tension that exists between Armenians in Russia and Russians escpessially since the start of the second Chechen campaign.

AUDIENCE DIDN’T LEAVE THE HALLS

Days of Armenian Culture were held in Moscow from November 12 to 16, which by the way were the first after the collapse of USSR.

 

 

The culture, sports and youth issues minister of Armenia Roland Sharoyan called a news conference on November 20, and the Armenian men of art participating in it were sharing the details and impressions of the Armenian Culture Days held in Moscow.

 

 

Works of 40 Armenian composers (from Aram Khachatrian to Ara Gevorgian) were performed and Armenian movies were on in the cinemas. Armenian poetry, the works of Armenian artists, museum exhibitions attracted and captured attention of Moscow’s art fans. Men of art who were present at the news conference underlined the centuries-long friendship of Armenian and Russian nations. ‘This wonderful start should be continued and the Armenian Culture Days must become an annual event in Russia’,- said Araks Davtian, notable Armenian singer. ‘Armenian culture was very well represented in Russia. We concluded agreements on cooperation in different spheres’,- said Ervand Ghazanchian, the director of Yerevan’s Paronian Theatre. Film director Albert Mkrtchian was very glad that his ‘Happy Bus’ movie, which received several awards during international film festivals, was a success in Moscow as well. ‘Not only the Russian-Armenian community, but also the Russian audience received us warmly and with love’,- he said.

 

 

Movie critic David Muradian, talking on Armenian-Russian cultural ties, said: ‘Do you know what it means to listen to poetry three hours long?’ And Russian audience listened to it with interest. The performances of Armenian music and dance ensembles were also a success in Russian capital.

 

 

At the news conference it was suggested to expand Armenian-Russian cultural contacts with the efforts of the two newly set up cultural centers in Yerevan and Moscow.
