of those artists who symbolize a whole epoch with their life and
works," M.Vardazarian mentioned. "I was present at Bella Darbinian's

of the former Soviet Union but abroad as well. She was loved, she was
respected as she was single in her type," singer Raisa Mkrtchian
mentioned. According to her, Armenian national, popular songs, Russian
romances in B.Darbinian's performance were different from others'
performances owing to her wonderful voice and specific
performance. "The Armenian people had a great lose. We fell pain and
sorrow for losing her as B.Darbianian was one of the eminent figures
of the Armenian popular music. Let's bend down before all she did and
realize that people like Bella pass away but leave a rich tradition of
the art of acting," People's Artist Ruben Matevosian
emphasized. B.Darbinian's funeral was held at the City Pantheon.
