Hye Arvest magazine to also be published in English

Yerkir has written about the magazine Hye Arvest (Armenian Art), which
was a joint project of the Momik Cultural Center and Seven Arts
Society.

In addition to interesting stories, the latest issue of the magazine
pleasantly surprised with two news, first being that from now on the
Armenian National Picture Gallery is the publisher of the magazine.

The second news is that the magazine will also have an
English-language edition, making it easier for the English-speaking
Diaspora Armenians to read it. The Armenian art and culture thus will
be presented to a wider public around the world.

One of the most remarkable articles of the latest issue is the story
titled “1600-year-old Challenge” by the editor of the magazine, Karen
Matevosian. The author is concerned that the Armenian alphabet
creation celebrations may turn into a show as it usually happens in
such cases.

Matevosian, citing Catholicos Garegin I as saying “the 1700th
anniversary of the Christianity should become a second arrival of
Christ,” notes that unfortunately it didn’t. He then hopes that the
alphabet’s 1600th anniversary celebrations are held appropriately and
become the unifying force for the world Armenians.

Armenians all over the globe must realize that there is no other
powerful weapon than the Armenian language and the Armenian alphabet
capable of saving them from assimilation.
