YEREVAN, JUNE 27, NOYAN TAPAN. A national anthem should be a
dedication, a prayer concentrating and presenting a country's history
and not some creation.
Poet Davit Hovhannes, member of the commission created for the purpose
of selecting lyrics and music for RA national anthem, expressed
such an opinion at the June 27 press conference. According to him,
they should find the variant of the anthem that will have elements of
march with a military key. At the same tome he offers the "Armenia -
Heavenly Country" creation remade by Komitas as RA national anthem,
which according to him, corresponds to the process of our country's
history, as well as makes an impression of a prayer.
As writer, publicist Perch Zeytuntsian affirmed, we should not deny all
possible variants of selection of an anthem and only base ourselves
on Aram Khachatrian's creation. "If there is an anthem better than
the previous one I will prefer it," P.Zeytuntsian said. The writer
offers to make such a choice that will express "the national spirit
and will be close to every Armenian."
