YEREVAN, APRIL 14, NOYAN TAPAN. On July 6-13 the fourth All-Armenian
Conference of Writers will be held in Armenia and Artsakh. More than
seventy writers from different colonies of the Diaspora will take part
in this conference. According to the information provided to a Noyan
Tapan correspondent by Levon Ananian, the Chairman of the Union of
Armenian Writers, the conference will be held under the "The Literary
Young Generation: Challenges of the 21st Century" slogan this year. He
mentioned that on the initiative of the RA Ministry of Culture this
year the conference will be held within the frameworks of the "One
Nation, One Culture" festival.

In the words of Levon Ananian, within the frameworks of the conference
an exhibition-sale will be organized in the square after Sharle
Aznavur together with the RA Ministry of Culture. A collection will be
published, in which the works of the modern Armenian poets of Armenia
and the Diaspora published in the press will be presented. In addition
to this, a number of discussions dedicated to the problems of young
writers, in particular, will be organized.

"Today the young generation is standing in front of the danger of
alienation in the Diaspora. We have no young writers and literary
reproduction any longer in many colonies, particularly in Europe
and Turkey," Levon Ananian said. At the same time he mentioned that
in a number of colonies: in Tehran, Beirut, Aleppo and Los Angeles,
there is still a rising literary generation, the prospect of which,
however, is rather misty.

Levon Ananian stated that the fifth All-Armenian Conference of Writers
is envisaged to be held in Syria in 2010. It was also mentioned that
the conference of the Armenian writers, who write in foreign languages,
organized on the initiative of the Union of Armenian Writers, will
be held in the United States of America next year.
