YEREVAN, FEBRUARY 19, NOYAN TAPAN. According to the characterization
of Aram Isabekian, the Art Academy Rector, such intellectuals are
involved in the "Bargavach Hayastan" (Prosperous Armenia) party who
did not join this or that party earlier and are not discredited among
the people. "And I confide in those people and "Bargavach" founder
Gagik Tsarukian. I am sure that this party will be able to solve the
problems which did not get any solution till now," he stated at the
February 18 meeting held at the "Urbat" debate club. And responding
the question "which point of the "Bargavach Hayastan" party program
is important for him," A.Isabekian did not give a clear answer:
"programs of all parties are almost the same. It is another issue
which will be able to implement them. I believe that all those
points will have an answer." At the same time, A.Isabekian, being
sure in success of the "Bargavach Hayastan" party, however, did not
exclude the variant of being disappointed, either, by saying that
"of course, it will be very bad." But, in the Rector’s words, living
in uncertainty is worse than believing nothing at all. The speaker is
not of the opinion that an artist must not be engaged in party issues,
and presented numerous examples: Picasso was also a partisan, Hugo
as well but they created high values for the mankind." And affirming
what he said, A.Isabekian facted that the exhibition of his new works
will open soon on the occasion of the 55th birthday anniversary. "So,
party work does not hinder me to create," he emphasized.
