/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Social Investment Fund has allocated AMD 27 million
to Khachatur Abovyan's home museums. However, repairs helped reveal
that building was in shabbier state than shown by projecting work.
"Full repairs of the building which will serve as library, depository
and scientific research center requires an additional sum of AMD 15
million," said director of Home Museum Hivhannes Zatikyan.
Khachatur Abovyan -an Armmenian writer and enlightener-democrat,
founder of new Armenian literature and new literary language,
pedagogue and ethnographer - was born in Kanaker, a village in the
vicinities of Erivani (Yerevan). He studied in Ecmiadzin and then,
in Nersisyan Seminary of Tbilisi (1824-26). Later he graduated from
Derpt (currently: Tartusk) university. Upon returning his homeland,
he devoted himself to teaching activity. Abovyan met a hostile attitude
by reactionary Armenian clergy and Tzarist officials for being against
dogmatism and formalism in school education. Beginning 1837, Abovyan
was a supervisor in a Tbilisi district college, and beginning 1843
he held the same post in Yerevan. On April 2 (14), 1848 Abovyan left
his home and never returned.
