TOUR OF BRITISH DANCER STOPPED BY POPULAR DEMAND
Yerevan, February 1. ArmInfo. Yerevan Russian Drama Theater reports
that the Feb 1 performance of British dancer Nagel Charnock has been
cancelled.
The administration of the theater does not say why the performance was
cancelled. We can only assume that the audience was shocked by the Jan
31 show as since today morning ArmInfo has been receiving numerous
messages from indignant people. Earlier in the day Armenian Culture
and Youth Ministry expressed its indignation at the fact that during
the show Charnock treated the flag of Armenia in an inadmissible
way. "He can do with the flag of his own country whatever he wants but
not with the state symbol of Armenia," says the Ministry. "We all know
British theater and its best traditions. We are sure that all British
people are proud of their theater. However, Charnock has shown that
the British values are degrading," says the Ministry.
