YEREVAN, MARCH 28, NOYAN TAPAN – ARMENIANS TODAY. RA Prime Minister
Andranik Margarian sent a message of congratulation to the theatrical
figures and theater-loving society on the occasion of the International
Day of Theater. In the message submitted to Noyan Tapan by the
RA Government’s Information and Public Relations Department, it
is particularly said: “It’s impossible to imagine people’s public
and cultural life without theater, devoters of the theatrical art,
the true shapes, modern for all the times, created by them live
forever in the memory of generations, educate them with high ideas of
beautiful, kind and just, also keeping lighted among the people the
beleif towards tomorrow’s day during hard times. During our new days’
history, during the first years of building the independent statehood,
the theater figures as well shared all the difficulties of those years
with our people, but they didn’t yeild, and owing to them, those real
devoters of the stage, doors of the Armenian theater of many centuries
never closed in front of spectators, new performances were even born,
what is too valuable. I warmly congratulate all the devoters of the
Armenian stage on the occasion of the International Day of Theater
and wish them new and new creative successes and spectators appraising
and loving the theatrical art as it true worth.”

“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
