Aram Gharabekyan still is on his post

The Orchestra’s Artistic Director and Principal Conductor,
American-Armenian conductor Aram Gharabekian still is on his post,
though some days before he has written an application to the RA
Culture Minister for quitting his job.

The RA Minister Hasmik Poghosyan who hasn’t accepted the application
of retiring explains his decision from two aspects. She is sure that
his troop is in a creative crises and it is not allowed to take up
extreme decisions.

Taking into consideration that it is not easy to destroy something and
to restore it again today, the Ministry has appointed an acting
director for the troop, and A. Gharabekyan still remains the
Orchestra’s Artistic Director.

H. Poghosyan for several times has met with the members of the troop,
has hold discussions and heard their opinions and perceptions.
According to the Minister the issue should be discussed with the
Musical Council of the Ministry.
