GAVAR, MARCH 30, NOYAN TAPAN – ARMENIANS TODAY. On the occasion
of the International Day of Theater, Gegharkunik Governor Stepan
Barseghian congratulated the actors of Gavar Levon Kalantar State
Dramatic theater two days later, meeting with the theater’s creative
collective on March 29. The Governor gave diplomas to 8 actors for
their contribution to the theater development and 7 actors were given
letters of thanks. As the actors mentioned, they are pleased to be
remembered even if once a year but they would like the theater not to
be left without attention. The hope that the theater will be repaired
with the funds of 2006 state budget won’t be fulfilled: the projecting
works implemented by the Ministry of Urban Development that lasted
for about 3 months remained on paper. Whereas, the theater badly needs
repairs. There are more than 0.5 meters of water only under the stage,
the building walls are cracked. In fact, the non-attractive looks of
the theater building won’t change in 2006, either.

“I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
