ARMENIAN WRITERS OF CONSTANTINOPLE CAN PRESERVE NATIONAL THINKING
YEREVAN, August 25 (Noyan Tapan). "Rober Hattechian's literary
heritage had greatly influence not only on the Diaspora, but on the
modern prose of Armenia." Levon Ananian, Chairman of the Armenian
Writer's Union, characteried Rober Hattechian's activities in this way
during his meeting with the Armenian writer of Constantinople held at
the Armenian Writer's Union on August 25. He gave assurance that Rober
Hattechian's great literary-publicistic heritage will be studied both
by literary critics and press theoreticians in the future, and the
future historian will really evaluate his public-national
activities. There was an opinion that the Armenian writers living in
Constantinople can't preserve and protect their national thinking. But
according to Levon Ananian, the literature of the Armenians of
Constantinople has started reviving due to a group of writers Zahrat,
Zareh Khrakhuni, Igna Saraslan, Vard Shikaher and Rober Hattechian
since the 50s of last century. "Really it is quite difficult, but
these writers fulfilled the problem put before them with honor,"
mentioned Levon Ananian. Rober Hattechian started appearing in the
literary scene since the 40s of last century. The prosaist is the
editor of the "Marmara" daily newspaper from 1967 to present. He has
published about 50 books. Since 1981 his memoirs have been published
in "Marmara". Later they are periodically released with separate books
entitled "Hushatetr" ("Scrap-Book").
