PanARMENIAN.Net - Vardaton (holiday of roses) dedicated to Armenian
poet and musician Sayat-Nova was celebrated in Tbilisi. Famed writer
Hovhannes Tumanyan was the first to celebrate the holiday in 1914.
The event was attended by Georgian Prime Minister Bidzina Ivanishvili
who congratulated the local Armenian community on the holiday.
Ivanishvili described Vardaton as a common holiday for both Georgians
and Armenians, deeming Sayat-Nova as a symbol of Gerogian-Armenian
friendship.
`Sayat-Nova was a famous Armenian poet who was killed in the monastery
by the invading army of Mohammad Khan Qajar. He was a great humanist.
Sayat-Nova is equally dear to both Armenian and Georgian people,'
Ivanishvili said.
