ARMENIA MAY HAVE NATIONAL ANTHEM WITHOUT LYRICS
AZG Armenian Daily
24/10/2006
After long-lasting public discussions and debates of musical experts,
the commission formed for selection of Armenian new state anthem
approved the music composed by the great Armenian composer Aram
Khachaturian for the anthem of the Soviet Armenia. At the same time,
the commission disapproved of all of the 85 texts for the anthem
submitted for the commission's consideration.
At present, in case, RA Government and RA National Assembly approve
the abovementioned decision of the commission, our country may have
an anthem without any lyrics for a while, until a new competition
for the anthem text is announced. The royalties for the best music
amounts to AMD 700, 000. Most likely this sum will be transferred to
Aram Khachatrian's Memorial House.
It's worth mentioning that the majority of the Armenian intelligentsia
have disapproved the previous anthem.
