A probation period may be set for the Armenian national anthem,
Henrik Harukyan, an artist, expressed this opinion in a discussion
with poet Razmik Davoyan.
In his words, if a new song may be selected as the national anthem,
it must be broadcast by radio, so that population gets used to
it. Harukyan thinks that the discussions on national anthem should
be postponed since "the wish of the people has not got matured yet."
In his turn, Razmik Davoyan who is a member of contest committee at the
Ministry of culture and youth affairs said that no application has been
considered yet. The poet thinks that the national anthem must be a song
about a mother and children must be educated to it since childhood.
Applications for the national anthem of Armenia will be accepted by
August 1. The present national anthem – "Our Motherland" was approved
by the parliament of the republic on July 1, 1991./Panorama.am/
