The celebration of the 90th anniversery of the Armenian Genocide in Sharjah

Azad-Hye, Dubai
May 1 2005

The Armenian Youth Foundation prepared and presented an English
speaking play named ANI on the 28th of April 2005 in “Ohannessian
Varjaran” (Weekly school of Armenians in Sharjah).

The teenagers who have been working for 6 months presented the story
of half an Armenian girl – NAIRI – who wanted to visit Moush in honor
of her grandfather, who was originally from there and survived the
genocide.

In a flash back to the 1915 we can see the teenagers’ theatrical
abilities both in playing the role of a lover – mother – victim and
crazy persons all done in high touch of responsibility and integrity.

There was no place for fake imotions as if we were in front of
professionals. It was a remarkable work specially using the english
language to make the armenian cause open to all nationalities.

At the end the song “menk kitch enk sagayn mez hy en asoom” by
Barouyr Sevag was sang both in English and Armenian.

Good job
