At today’s press-conference MAAT art director Oleg Tabakov condemned
Armenian Genocide and stressed that the art is a more effective method
of condemnation of a crime against mankind than diplomacy.

theatre of Armenia will be continued in future, too. “If Armenian
dramatists present successful plays they will not escape my attention”,
