YEREVAN, FEBRUARY 16, ARMENPRESS: The Armenian Union of Tbilisi
released today morning a statement which says Armenian poet Hovhannes
Tumanyan's apartment in Tbilisi was purchased and sold without taking
account of the decision of the Armenian community to Georgia and was
of a speculative nature.
The heads of the Georgian-Armenian community said they were surprised
about the fact that Mikhail Tadevosov, the so-called chairman of the
Armenians Union of Tblisi, made statements in the name of the whole
of the Armenian community to Georgia when his union has 2-3 members.
Bishop Vazgen Mirzakhanyan, leader of the Georgian-Armenian Diocese
reported Armenpress that he welcomes the quick response of the RA
authorities and Writers Union of Armenia to the settlement of the
issue and thanks Vardan Ghukasyan, mayor of Gyumri, for his decision
to buy the apartment with his relatives. Referring to the issue what
kind of activity the Armenians Union of Tbilisi is extending today,
the Bishop said he does not know such an organization.
Armenpress also interviewed Chairman of Armenian Writers Union Levon
Ananyan. Commenting on the statement spread by Tadevosov, Levon Ananyan
said it first proves about Tadevosov's "endless love" toward Tumanyan
and his relics. "Unfortunately, surplus of love brings to nothing. Like
10 years ago, Tadevosov's efforts of turning Tumanyan's Tbilisi house
into an Armenian hearth remain fruitless," said Levon Ananyan.
The Doctor of Psychology (this is doubtful, too) also states that a
mercenary deal has been made and the Armenian delegation has bypassed
his significant presence. Levon Ananyan reminded that during their
first departure for Georgia an agreement was reached with apartment's
owner Archil Lezhava to buy an analogical apartment in the same
district. The Chairman of the Armenian Writers Union had privileged
Tadevosov to buy that apartment.
"After some time Tadevsoov proposed the apartment of his friend
with $130 thousand and the owner refused saying the house is not
equivalent, it was emergency," said Levon Ananyan, adding that
afterward the Armenian party talked to Lezhava, who assessed his
property $ 145 thousand.
Levon Ananyan said nobody has a right to appropriate the poet of all
Armenians. "Tumanyan's house is to become an active Armenian cultural
center and be named after the great poet," said Mr. Ananyan.
Armenpress also interviewed Van Baiburd, advisory to the Georgian
President, who assured that Tadevosov has always deceived society,
saying he is the chairman of the Armenian Union of Tbilisi, while he
is a representative.
To make full idea of the issue Armenpress also interviewed the
Armenian Ambassador to Georgia, who plays an active role in the process
according to Levon Ananyan. The ambassador said that he will say more
after signing the deal.
