    Dostoevsky in Armenian

    Yerkir/arm
    01 April 05

    On March 30, the Slavonic University of Armenia hosted presentation
    of two Armenian translations of stories by Dostoevsky - "Demons,"
    and "Notes from Dead House."

    The event was organized by the Russian-Armenian university, Russian
    philological university, Armenian Science Academy Institute of
    literature, as well as journalists' and writers' unions.

    Rector of the Slavonic university Armen Darpinian said: "Armenians
    need to know the Russian literature. Unfortunately, there are
    some difficulties on this way, but due to translators like Armen
    Hovhannisyan, we will not let the literature be forgotten.

    Armen Hovhannisyan's creative life has been devoted to establishment
    of higher values. Owing to his translations, Armenian readers were
    able to read in Armenian writers like Chekhov, Dostoevsky, Pushkin,
    Bulgakov, Kuprin and others.

    Deputy chairman of the Writers' Union David Muradian calls fantastic
    that the Slavonic University of Armenia finds resources for this kind
    of efforts.

    Zori Balayan believes that such translations also enrich the Russian
    literature.

    "Interpretation is also a kind of creation and even more," concluded
    Hovhannisyan.
