/PanARMENIAN.Net/ A festival will be held in Yerevan dedicated to the
120th anniversary of famous painter Marc Chagall 7-17 July. `Taking
into account the utmost necessity and actuality, as well as importance
that OSCE gives to issues concerning tolerance, nondiscrimination,
struggle against xenophobia and spread of tolerance principles in
modern world community, the OSCE Yerevan Office together with state
and non-governmental organizations of Armenia, including `Menora’
Cultural Center, supports and in every way assists the realization of
a long-term project, titled `Through Culture to Tolerance’,’ Head of
OSCE Yerevan Office Jeannette Kloetzer stated.
Presentation of a book by Karen Grigoryan entitled `Marc Chagall’ and
premier of a short film -`Angel under Roofs’ (music by Armenian
composer Villy Veiner) is scheduled in the framework of the
festival. V. Veiner said, the Armenian nation has unique traditions
of ancient national culture, music, architecture and fine
arts… `This nation has a highest taste for everything beautiful and
is capable to estimate the real culture at its true worth. Not long
ago together with Armenia the whole world marked the 100th anniversary
of world-famous Aram Khachaturian. Today Armenia pays tribute to great
Chagall together with the whole world,’ the composer underscored
during his interview to the PanARMENIAN.Net journalist.
