YEREVAN, JUNE 28, NOYAN TAPAN. "The Arno Babajanian Foundation intends
to build a house-museum dedicated to the great composer in Yerevan
but the city authorities have not solved the issue of allocating
a land plot," the composer's son, the chairman of the foundation
Arayik Babajanian said at the June 27 joint press conference with
the chairmen of the Creative Unions of Armenia. According to him,
they applied to the mayor's office on this issue as far back as 2001.
A. Babajanian said that they applied to Yerevan mayor Yervand Zakharian
in February 2007. Although the mayor assured them that the problem
of the museum construction will be quickly dealt with, so far there
has been no official response from the mayor's office.
In the words of the composer's son, Russian intellectuals are concerned
over the issue of building Arno Babajanian's house-museum in Yerevan
so they sent an open letter to Armenian intellectuals. The director
of the Armenian branch of the Arno Babajanian Foundation Jacques
Hakoian noted that this problem worries Armenian intellectuals as
well, and "the impression that everybody in Armenia has forgotten
Arno Babajanian is wrong."
The press conference participants decided to apply to the president
and the prime minsiter of Armenia on the issue of allocating a land
plot for the museum.
