    COMMUNIST SAYS SONG OF STRONGMEN WOULD MAKE ANTHEM OF ARMENIA

    The leader of the Communist Party Ruben Tovmasyan thinks that under
    the present government of Armenia the song of the strongmen ("Vot
    Takaya Dolya Vorovskaya") could be national anthem of Armenia, and
    everyone would sing it except for the Communists.

    With regard to the Commission on the Anthem of Armenia, Mr. Tovmasyan
    said, "Look at them, Aram Khachaturyan's work is in the fourth
    place. I wonder who is in the first place." On learning from the news
    reporters that Tigran Mansuryan's work is in the first place, he added,
    "Mansuryan and Amirkhanyan should have been more modest."

    The Communists think that all this fuss about changing the anthem is
    a disgrace for people, and the national anthem should not have been
    discussed at all. Ruben Tovmasyan says they conducted a survey among
    1014 people and only 30 people said they are against the anthem of
    Soviet Armenia by Aram Khachaturyan.

    In case the old anthem is changed, the Communists accept the music by
    Aram Khachaturyan with new lyrics, although he says, "Sarmen's lyrics
    have prospect." If it is not chosen either, let Mikhael Nalbandyan's
    anthem remain. His poem "Freedom" would be enough to recognize him
    as Mikhael Nalbandyan.
