    Colombian writer Garcia Marquez officially invited to Armenia


    Armenian Ministry of Culture has officially invited Colombian eminent
    writer Gabriel Garcia Marquez to Armenia, Ministry speaker Gayane
    Durgaryan told Panorama.am.

    An initiative group is created in Facebook social network which aims
    to invite great writer Gabriel Garcia Marquez to Armenia. The group
    has applied to Hasmik Pogosyan, Minister of Culture of Armenia with an
    official letter for the invitation, which reads.
    `Respected Minister, we are informed that UNESCO has granted Yerevan
    as Book Capital in 2012. In this respect we'd like Armenia to host
    world-known Columbian writer, Nobel Prize winner Gabriel Garcia
    Marquez. The initiative group has more than 2500 members. Now we apply
    to You and ask You to send an official invitation to Garcia Marquez.'

    Writer, translator Vardan Fereshetyan has hailed the initiative, but
    is little hopeful Marquez will come: `He has some health problems, he
    may not come. But he has recently visited Moscow, hence, maybe he'll
    come,' writer told Panorama.am.
