We became the witnesses of unorganized work of One Nation, One Culture
festival in Moscow Cinema House where a meeting with diaspora Armenian
writers was held. Some came with the expectation to listen to poetry
and got discontent and demanded that they get to the point.
The Armenian cultural figures in Los Angeles, Sofia and Austria
mentioned that they are deprived of the opportunity to follow the
developments of the Armenian literature. "We do not know what books are
published in Armenia. We do not get books and literary newspapers,"
Hakob Ormanjyan, the head of Armeniology Center in Sofia said. He
said book fairs are held in Sofia but Armenia never comes up with
its products.
Armenian Writers' Union Head Levon Ananyan explained that the
transport fair is high enough and sometimes the expenses do not
cover the cost. In his words, the state must eliminate the customs
due on books for transport of books. H. Ormanjyan also complained
about the content of the literature - it is always about our past
and village which does not have demand among the youth. "They want
to see Armenia's reality today," he said.
