UNECSO is going to celebrate the 100th anniversaries of William
Saroyan and Victor Hambardzumian in 2008-2009. The celebration
events for William Saroyan will be held in Armenia and in the USA,
particularly in Fresno, where the great writer lived. RA Culture
Ministry informed that Armenia will continue carrying out cultural
diplomacy which helped to represent the ancient culture of our country
in a number of foreign states last year.
It’s worth mentioning that UNESCO celebrated the 100th anniversaries
of outstanding Armenian artist Garzou (Garnik Zouloumian) and scientist
Norayr Sisakian in 2007.
