master classes on which were present not only the Armenian students
but also students from Georgia, Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan, we had also
a powerful Iranian program", – the director of the 7th international

interested in dramatic performances, performances of "Theatre of
puppets, fingers and things" and the modern dance theatres.

new style performances here too", – underlined A. Ghukasyan. By the
words of the director several Armenian theatre groups have greatly
