/PanARMENIAN.Net/ RA President expressed his condolences on the
occasion of honored art critic Henrik Igityan’s death.

In his condolence letter on the occasion of Mr. Igityan’s death,
President Serzh Sargsyan says:

"Henrik Igityan was a unique personality in contemporary Armenian art;
he was one of the pillars of Armenian culture. In all his initiatives,
he was a pioneer who managed to overcome any difficulty seeming
insurmountable to others. Showing the truth and beauty, he managed
to prove that a patriot and man of art does not recognize any obstacle.

Henrik found that any person considering himself an intellectual
should always be in a leading position. Such was his personality
both as a public-political figure and a man of art. The Contemporary
Art Museum founded by the great master promoted the development of
our art and his aesthetic centre became a unique kind of institution
all over the world. The cultural centers founded by Igityan continue
advocating art without conventionalities.

“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
