MY WEAPON IS MY BIOGRAPHY – EX-CULTURE MINISTER POSITIVE ON WRITERS’ UNION PRESIDENCY PLAN
13:06 ~U 18.10.13
Hovik Hoveyan, a former minister of culture who has placed his bid
in the current campaign for the Writers’ Union president, appears to
be very optimistic about his chances of winning.
In an interview with Tert.am, Hoveyan said that he considers his past
biography a good tool for ensuring his success.
“I see myself in any kind of character. I have proved with my
biography that I can be both a good or bad organizer and a [writer]
with a good or poor creative talent. My weapon is my biography,”
he said, when asked to comment on the traditional disputes over the
character of the Writers’ Union president (whether that person has
to be a good organizer or a good writer).
Hoveyan said that he is very skeptical about the rumors that the
Union no longer serves its real mission.
“Those are gossips. The Writers’ Union is not a dead body. That’s an
organization which must not be discredited; we are sick and tired of
those conversations,” he said.
