Compositions of different years will be summed up during Ruben
Hakhverdyan’s concerts to be held June 28 and 29 at the sports
and cultural center after Karen Demirchyan. This will be a concert
for the young and the grown-ups: lyrical and political songs, old
beloved songs and several new ones. Three cardoons will be screened
for young spectators.

"Radiolur" correspondent Nvard Davtyan had a talk with Ruben
Hakhverdyan both about the concert and other topics.

The recent discussions over the new anthem of the republic have been
rather fiery, the opinions are controversial, and the suggestions are
diverse. Ruben Hakhverdyan considers that the important thing about
the anthem is that it should sounds relevant.

"The value of the anthem is in its grounding. The former anthem is
groundless," the musician said.

Violence of the ignorant crowd. This was how Ruben Hakhverdyan
characterized the recent events connected with the visit of the
Catholicos of All Armenians to Turkey.

"Our political figures should use the opportunity in political
interests.

This action is impudence. No religion has the right to refute the
ideas of another religion," the musician considers.
