YEREVAN, AUGUST 16, NOYAN TAPAN. The second All Armenian Festival
of young producers will be held in Gyumri between October 21 to
25. According to the statement made by Yervand Ghazanchian, the
President of the Union of Theatre Workers of Armenia, at the press
conference held on August 16, performances of nine producers from
Yerevan, as well as of those under 30 from the theatres named after
V. Achemian in Gyumri and after P. Adamian in Tbilisi will be presented
at the festival. At the same time, he expressed anxiety about the fact
that there are no young producers in the other theaters of Armenia.

Attaching importance to the fact that the cultural life in the capital
"has got rid of polarization", Yervand Ghazanchian mentioned that
the festival will be held in the region of Kotayk in 2008, where no
theatre from Yerevan has had tours for already 15 years. "Theatres
should be saved from the subjection of prefecturas and municipalities
by returning them to the RA Ministry of Culture," the President of
the Union of Theatre Workers of Armenia declared.
