    FIRST REPUBLICAN 'AYVAZYAN' FESTIVAL TO BE HELD IN YEREVAN

    YEREVAN, OCTOBER 13, ARMENPRESS: The first republican 'Ayvazian'
    theatrical festival, dedicated to the 85th anniversary of famous
    Armenian playwright Aghasi Ayvazyan, will be held October 18-24
    in Yerevan.

    Greta Verdyan-Ayvazyan, widow of Aghasi Ayvazyan, said today at
    a meeting with journalists that 12 plays, staged on the basis of
    Ayvazyan's dramas, will be presented within the framework of the
    festival.

    'Aghasi Ayvazyan left a great heritage; opening only one museum is
    not enough to present the whole heritage to the spectator,' Greta
    Verdyan-Ayvazyan said. She added that the festival will kick with
    Aghasi Ayvazyan's famous expression - 'Let me love you'.

    She mentioned that 6 plays for adults, 4 plays for juniors, and 2 ones
    for children will be presented during the festival. The best play,
    shown during the festival, will be presented to the spectator once
    again after the end of the festival.

    Ruben Babayan, artistic director of the Hovhannes Tumanyan State
    Puppet Theatre, chairman of the festival's jury, said he assures
    that the jury will be unbiased, though, he says, 'it is impossible
    to eliminate biased approaches in art'.

    Ruben Babayan informed that at the end of the festival 3 prizes will
    be awarded for the best plays. He said they also intend prizes in
    'Best Actor', 'Best Actress', 'Best Performance' and 'Best Coverage'
    categories.
