    /PanARMENIAN.Net/ On Mar.13 Armenia celebrates the 112th anniversary
    of great Armenian poet Eghishe Charents

    The Memorial ceremony and wreath-laying at the Charents Monument was
    followed by recitation of writerâ??s poems.

    â??Charentsâ?? genius will remain actual at all
    times. His poetry brings inward peace. The genius of the nation is its
    face. So the Armenian youth has be familiar with works of geniuses
    like Charents,â?? the writers grandson Armen Charents stated.

    Yeghishe Charents (March 13, 1897 â?? November 29, 1937) was
    an Armenian poet and public activist. Charents was one of the most
    outstanding poets of the twentieth century, touching upon a multitude
    of topics that ranged from his experiences in the First World War,
    socialism, and, more prominently, on Armenia and Armenians.

    An early champion of communism, Charents joined the Bolshevik party,
    but as the Soviet state clamped down on nationalism in the 1930s, he
    gradually grew disillusioned with Stalinism and was later executed
    during the 1930s purges.
