    Armenian poet Vahan Teryan would turn 128 today

    22:15 - 09.02.13


    Saturday, February 9 marks the 128th birth anniversary of the renowned
    Armenian poet and lyricist, Vahan Teryan.

    Representatives of the cultural center Teryan, as well as members of
    the Writers' Union of Armenia and the Javakhk Union gathered today
    outside his cemetery to celebrate the day and remember the great
    writer.

    The center's president, Arushan Hakobyan, and poet Vard Hakobyan
    delivered their praise in memory of the talented master.

    Ghazaryan, who is a relative of the poet, characterized Teryan as word
    master who, despite his short creative life, managed to pave a new way
    for the Armenian literature. `And there you are; read the contemporary
    poets. They are first influenced by Vahan Teryan. He is such a magic
    poet. We have much to learn from Teryan,' he said.

    President of the National Library Rafik Ghazaryan added that Teryan's
    pieces address our present-day life more than do the works of
    contemporary poets.

    The ceremony was also attended by President of the Javakhkh Union
    Shirak Torosyan who stressed the importance of opening a home-museum
    to the great poet to make his character closer and better familiar to
    the Armenian society.

    `There is one museum in Orenburg and a room dedicated to Teryan in the
    Yerevan school named after him. We have promised to have the rooms
    repaired, and I think we'll manage that in the coming month,' he said.

    Vahan Teryan died in Orenburg, Russia on January 7, 1920. He was aged 35.
