Presidentof the Republic of Armenia and the Chairman of the State
Commission on Coordination of the events for the commemoration of the
100th anniversary of the Armenian Genocide, Serzh Sargsyan, today
attended the opening of the Komitas Museum-Institute at the Komitas
Park. Under the President's proposal, the resolution to build the
museum was passed by the Board of Trustees of Hayastan All Armenian
Fund on May 30, 2013. Prior to the opening of the museum, Serzh
Sargsyan, in company with the state commission members and guests
visited the Komitas Pantheon and placed flowers at Vardapet's tomb.
The Armenian President congratulated everybody on the opening of the
museum-institute, extended his thanks to all the persons who have
contributed to the implementation of this important initiative and
after touring the museum and familiarizing with various displays,
wrote in the book of honorary guests:
"The Komitas Museum-Institute is the symbol of the unity and revival
of the Armenian people. Komitas Vardapet joined together what is
spiritual and worldly, noble and peasant, Western Armenian and Eastern
Armenian, thus proving the artificial nature of those, as well as many
other dividing lines. By this, he became the pioneer and guarantor of
the new march of the Armenian people as genocide survivors,
highlighting and passing on a huge layer of civilization to us.
I am glad that owing to this museum, the unexampled legacy of Komitas
can now become a subject of systematic study and wide recognition both
in Armenia and worldwide. Komitas is the living part of our cultural
life who continues to lead us through the complex crossraods of the
third millenium now.
The opening of the Komitas Museum-Insitiute is an important event for
our country and our people."
On the occasion of the opeing, a solemn ceremony was held at the
concert hall of the newly-opened museum.
