    The Avetik Isahakian Cultural Union was initiated by Orinats Yerkir
    party a year ago aiming at development of the Armenian culture and
    safeguarding it for generations to come. Head of the party and chairman
    of the National Assembly, Artur Baghdasarian, said: "I belong to the
    group of people who are sure that both state leaders and the people
    has to turn their face to our national cultural values. The party will
    start settling different issues through this union staying away from
    low-cost political approaches and commentaries". The grandchildren

    Union. Along with a concert the participants had the chance to listen
    to Avetik Isahakian's recorded voice.
