Culture Min: “Orinats Yerkir” No Longer Competent to Recall Him

RA CULTURE MINISTER BELIEVS THAT “ORINATS YERKIR” PARTY IS NO MORE
COMPETENT FOR DECISION TO RECALL HIM

Yerevan, May 12. ArmInfo. “Though the portfolio of Culture Minister
was handed to “Orinats Yerkir” party, but I am a non-party person and
the cultural figures put forward my candidacy,” Gevorg Gevorgian, RA
Culture Minister, said this in the interview to ArmInfo.

He emphasized that he never clung to the minister’s portfolio and
agreed to occupy this post for the sake of the development of the
sphere. “I am ready to continue restoration of Armenia’s fame as a
country of highly developed culture,” he said. Besides, he said that
there is still much to do in that direction.

It’s worth mentioning that in the course of one of the government
sittings, RA PM Andranik Margarian said that Mr. Gevorgian is a person
who managed to do a lot for the restoration of the cultural sphere in
a couple of months.

Gevorgian managed to return the edifices of the theatres that were
privatized earlier through the court. Today, a number of cultural
figures of Armenia stated about their support to Gevorgian, in the
interview to ArmInfo.

“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
