YEREVAN, AUGUST 29, NOYAN TAPAN. The art lover public bade the last
farewell on August 29 to Armenian eminent poetess, RA NAS academician,
laureate of state awards Silva Kaputikian. S.Kaputikian was born
on January 20, 1919, in Yerevan. Her works were translated into
many languages. Besides the USSR and RA state awards, she was also
awarded the Nosside International Prize in Rome in 1989. She was a
deputy of the Supreme Council of the Armenian SSR in 1975-1980. In
the words of the poetess’ friends writers, S.Kaputikian’s works have
instilled and will continue to instil the spirit of true patriotism
to generations. In RA Prime Minister Andranik Margarian’s words,
an intellectual passed away whose precepts about the Fatherland,
language, faultlessness of the native language are modern and lasting
today as well. "The poetess left an indelible trace in our literature
and in the affair of generation’s education.
Both today’s and future generations are obliged not only to respect but
also to be led by those precepts which the eminent poetess left," the
Prime Minister mentioned. "Silva Kaputikian is one of those exclusive
poets whose works are written not only for Armenian but also for
foreign readers. By the poetess’ efforts the Armenian literature,
science was presented to the world community.
And if they know in Russia few Armenian writers, one of them is Silva
Kaputikian. Its evidence is her about 20 collections published in the
Russian language," RA People’s Artist Vladimir Abajian mentioned. In
words of RA Minister of Culture and Youth Affairs Hasmik Poghosian,
death of an intellectual like Silva Kaputikian is a loss for all the
Armenians. "It’s a pity, too pity, that Silva Kaputikian is not with
us any longer. The fact of age, of course, existed, but her mind,
thought was very bright, and she still has much to say and to do,"
Hranush Hakobian, the Chairwoman of the National Assembly Standing
Committee on Science, Education, Culture and Youth Issues mentioned. In
her words, S.Kaputikian’s heritage is so deep, powerful, patriotic
that generations must be brought up by it for centuries. "She lived
magnificently. It was not in vain, that the Armenian people called the
poetess of all Armenians as it is given only to singles," H.Hakobian
mentioned. S.Kaputikian’s burial was in the pantheon of the Komitas
park of Yerevan.
