SQUABBLE INSTEAD OF PERFORMANCES

Today the chamber music theater is at the edge of collapse. The theater
staff has divided into two parts trying to give way to conflict via mass
media.

The problems is that 3 months ago by decree of the Minister of Culture head
of Alfa El producing center Levon Abrahamyan was appointed new director. In
the latter’s words, he had made big contributions to the development of the
theater. However opponents to the new director headed by Armen Meliksetyan
assure that the new director does not have the slightest idea about the
structure of the theatre.

On April 18 well known arts critics Alexander Grigoryan, Vahe Shahverdyan,
Yervand Ghazanchyan and Sos Sargsyan addressed a letter to Robert Kocharyan
calling him to pay attention to the situation created in the theater. They
share Armen Meliksetyan’s opinion that the director candidature should be
presented by the theater members.
