RA President Serzh Sargssian sent a message of condolence to the
President of Kyrgyzstan Kurmanbek Bakiev in connection with the death
of world-famous writer Chingiz Aytmatov.

The message states:

"Immense is the loss your people and culture suffered with the death
of renowned Kyrgyz writer Chingiz Aytmatov.

For many people Kyrgyz culture is first of all Chingiz Aytmatov,
a writer, whose works combine traditional issues of life with
contemporary ones. He has left an enormous literary heritage not
only to the present generation, but also to the world history and
next generations of readers.

Aytmatov’s works are well known and highly appreciated in Armenia;
almost all of them are translated into Armenian.

On behalf of the Armenian people I extend condolences to Aytmatov’s
family and the whole Kyrgyz people."
