    ARMENIAN COMPOSER'S MUSIC PLAYED IN TURKISH PARLIAMENT FIRST TIME

    Tert.am
    14:51 ~U 29.04.10

    A peace of music by an Armenian composer Sargis Effendi was for the
    first time in the history of the Turkish state played in the Grand
    National Assembly of Turkey.

    According to local Turkish daily Milliyet the "strange and surprising"
    even took place on April 28 during a break of the parliamentary
    session.

    The peace written by Sargis Effendi was aired by the parliamentary TV
    screens in the corridors and could be heard through the loudspeakers
    there.

    Further the paper mentiones that till today only peaces of Western
    composers, such as Johann Sebastian Bach and Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart,
    have been played in the Turkish parliament.

    An Armenian national, Sargis Effendi was born in 1885 in Turkey and
    lived and created his peaces in Turkey. In 1930 he moved to Paris
    with his family and passed away there in 1944.
