YEREVAN, JANUARY 20, ARMENPRESS: The Armenian delegation, which has
left for Tbilisi, met with owner of Tumanyan's house in Tbilisi
Archil Lezhava. Chairman of Armenian Writers Union Levon Ananyan
said the talks put an end to all the statements and controversial
information spread by the mass media, Armenpress' correspondent
reports from Tbilisi.
The information that Lezhava is a businessman does not correspond to
reality, too. The latter is a young lawyer, who has got education
in the USA. He obtained this house in 2002. Then it was a library
named after Hovhannes Tumanyan. For 5 years he allowed to use that
apartment as a library without any compensation, paying all the taxes,
but afterward the library was moved.
Now the young lawyer wants to marry, he has decided to repair the
building and live there. The information that the territory will
become a hostel for Turkish workers is not true, too. "I know Tumanyan,
he is a genius for Armenian people," Lezhava said.
During the discourse Lezhava offered to give him an apartment
with the same sizes - 120 square meters, in the same district. He
had started the repair works, but stopped with the request of the
Armenian delegation.
The parties came to terms that if no decision is adopted within a
month, Lezhava will resume the repair works. Chair of the Georgian
Writers Union, distinguished novelist, and friend of Armenian people
Revaz Mishveladze attended the meeting of the delegation.
