Their  reorganization will be carried out by joining the Center for Armenian  Spiritual Music to the Komitas MuseumInstitute. Thus, the Center will  become a branch of the Museum Institute, which was created aimed at  preserving and promoting the creative heritage of Komitas.

The project was developed by the RA Ministry of Education, Science,  Culture and Sports. It is expected that the aforementioned government  decision will help reduce state budget expenditures.

Emil Lazarian: “I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
