Today Prime Minister Serge Sargsyan sent a letter of condolence to
the family of Rudolf Khachatryan, which stated "With great sorrow
I learned of the death of one of the best known Armenian painters,
People’s Artist Rudolf Khachatryan. No matter where he created,
be it Moscow, London, or elsewhere, his soul was always tied to the
homeland and his national roots.

His creations are filled with optimism and light, and are a great
contribution to not only Armenian, but world culture.

I offer my deep condolences to his family and those near to him,
as well as to those who adored his work."

We point out that in connection with Khachatryan’s death, assistant
prime minister Hovik Aprahamyan has created a governmental committee,
which will be headed by Culture Ministry representative Gagik Gyurjyan.

“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
