    SOME EVENTS DEDICATED TO APRIL 1 DO NOT TAKE PLACE BECAUSE OF RA PRIME
    MINISTER ANDRANIK MARGARIAN'S PREMATURE DEATH

    YEREVAN, APRIL 2, NOYAN TAPAN. On RA Prime Minister Andranik
    Margarian's initiative April 1 was involved in the official calendar
    of Armenia as the day of "Satire and Humour" and a group of satirists
    envisaged to celebrate this year that day with great lustre, with the
    Prime Minister's assistance. But, as humourist Samvel Baghdasarian
    stated at the March 31 press conference, a number of events, including
    festive parade envisaged at the Azatutian (Independence) square and
    "Mekits Mek" (One in One) humorous concert to take place at the Al.
    Spendiarian Opera and Ballet National Academic Theater were not to
    take place because of the Prime Minister's premature death.

    "After the Prime Minister's death some changes were to be done in
    scenarios of these programs but they would bring to falsity when
    satire and humour can not be false," S. Baghdasarian mentioned. In
    his words, an exhibition of satiric paintings dedicated to April 1
    opened on April 1 on the Ch. Aznavour square, premierre of the "Bird"
    performance took place at the "Agulis" puppet theater, "Musicians
    Joke" humour program took place at the Aram Khachatrian House-Museum,
    "Small Secrets of Big Wonders" humour program took place at the
    Hovh. Tumanian Puppet Theater.

    In the words of RA People's Artist Rafayel Kotanjian, the Prime
    Minister had such an attitude towards satire and art that many of our
    officials do not have. "A. Margarian appriciated the art, and numerous
    performances and cultural events became a reality with his
    assistance," the actor emphasized.

    Touching upon the humourous programs broadcast by TV, Aramayis
    Sahakian, the editor-in-chief of the "Vozni" (hedgehog) satiric
    newspaper mentioned that "hunour of low level is today encouraged just
    in the way the rabis (pop) music is encouraged," that's why the
    broadcast is full of similar programs. And actor Haroutiun Movsisian
    expressed an opinion that a day will come when everybody will be tired
    of the rabis music and vulgarity.
