YEREVAN, OCTOBER 18, NOYAN TAPAN. On October 18, art-lovers bade
their last farewell to well-known singer, laureate of a number of
international contests Varduhi Vardanian who died in a car accident.
Being gifted with an exclusive voice and diligence, V.Vardanian in
a short period gained fame and spectator’s sympathy.
"I have performed on tours abroad with V.Vardanian. Besides being a
good singer, she was a friendly, sociable person. Varduhi still had
much to do, though rather great work was done in this short time. She
was one of the single singers who was able to perform both variety
and folk songs: this was evidence of her talent. It is a pity that
this tragic incident happened to such a young, talented singer. Her
memory will always remain in all of us," People’s Artist Ofelia
Hambartsumian said.
In the words of RA People’s Artist Ruben Matevosian, V.Vardanian was
a singer with a big range, which can be said about few singers. In his
words, the young singer was loved by everybody. "This is an irreparable
loss for all of us. Let this be a warning for us all, for us to be a
bit careful and think that we live not only for ourselves, but also
for the people that has come to bid its last farewell to its beloved
singer today," R.Matevosian said.
RA Defence Minister Serge Sargsian, Yerevan Mayor Yervand Zakharian and
other high-ranking officials bade their last farewell to the singer.
V.Vardanian was buried at Yerevan town cemetery.
