    ANTELIAS, APRIL 11, NOYAN TAPAN - ARMENIANS TODAY. Under the
    patronage of Aram I Catholicos of the Great House of Cilicia, about
    150 writers from Armenia, Artsakh, Javakhk as well as colonies of
    Diaspora participated in the 3rd All-Armenian Conference of Writers
    taken place in Antelias on April 6-9. A number of reports were made
    within the framework of the conference as well as an exhibition of
    the Armenian book opened at the "Cilicia" museum of Mayrivank where
    books published in Armenia during the recent years were presented. As
    Noyan Tapan was informed by the Press Services of the Great House of
    Cilicia, reports on the themes "Globalization and Modern Armenian
    Literature," "New Life Experience and New Literature," "Diasporan
    Armenian Literature by Estimation of Modern Study of Literature of
    Armenia," "The Armenian Genocide and Modern Armenian Literature,"
    etc. were made at the conference. According to literary critic
    Garnik Ananian, the Armenian literary-artistic conception bravely
    goes forward to world challenges what often brings to refusal of
    national identity, stable literary values. According to him, year
    after year "writing of sweepings" enters the literary field what may
    bring serious threats to the Armenian literature. American Armenian
    writer Vehanuysh Tekian touched upon the problems of the Diasporan
    Armenian literature. According to her, a literature has been created in
    different colonies of the world continuously for years, what deserves
    serious attention. And literary critic Suren Danielian emphasized
    that there is no mutual understanding, field of understanding and
    acquaintance between the Western Armenian and Eastern Armenian parts,
    and indifference is noticed towards the Western Armenian literary
    values in Armenia.

    According to him, one of its reasons was the criticism of the Soviet
    years, "one must gradually get rid of what." Literary critic and
    translator Alexander Topchian spoke about internalization of the
    Armenian literature. According to him, the internalization of the
    Armenian literature must first of all become an unseparatable part of
    the state policy. This means that a clear and all-embracing program
    must be worked out for presenting the Armenian literature to the world,
    for what it's necessary to unite not only creative unions of Armenia
    but the intellectuals' potential of Diaspora as well. During the
    conference the Armenian writers proposed to create an internet site
    where the printed press, created literature of Diaspora and Armenia
    will be gathered.
