President Serzh Sargsyan and Mrs. Rita Sargsyan sent a letter of
condolences to the Garanian family.

The letter reads:

"We were greatly saddened by the news of the untimely demise of
the People’s Artist of Russia, composer and conductor Georgi Aram
Garanian. We lost a great saxophonist and composer whose pieces of
music have their unique place in the treasury of the world jazz and
pop music.

Our great compatriot was always performing with a special delight
on the Armenian stage. His last performance in Yerevan, conducted in
the framework of the Armenian Jazz-70 Festival, is unforgettable.

We express our sincere condolences to the family, friends and the
fans of the master of "living voice." Bright memory of Georgi Garanian
will stay with us for ever."
