Do we manage to maintain our national features under the conditions
of the current globalization? "There is indeed a problem. This
globalization process will first of all swallow the nations with
comparatively week culture. We are also in danger," President of the
Union of Artists of Armenia Karem Aghamyan told a press conference
today.

"On one hand we easily accept and digest what the West offers. On
the other hand we wonder how we lost our national values," he said.

According to Karem Aghamyan, the crisis has not affected the Union
of Artists. "We do not feel the crisis, since we have always been in
crisis. The Union of Artists of Armenia survives by renting out some
rooms of the building. The Union will perhaps perish if one of the
renters leaves," he said.
