    ARTSAKH VALUES WRITERS THOUGH DOES NOT EXPLOIT THEIR POTENTIAL

    Karabakh diary

    Writers' Union of Nagorno Karabakh called its 3d congress. Together
    with the delegation of Writers' Union of Armenia headed by its
    president Levon Ananian, Artsakhi writers discussed their accomplished
    works and shared with future programs.

    President of Armenia's Writers' Union thanked for being granted a
    member of Artsakh's Writers' Union along with 2 other members of
    the Armenian delegation. He highly evaluated the cooperation of two
    literary organizations especially of the last 4 years. Highlighting
    today's literary potential of Artsakh, he called it a well-established
    power, which has a serious mission in all-Armenian literary field.

    "The Writers' Union of Armenia will continue lending support to
    Artsakh's literary family", Ananian assured and added that the rest
    home to be built for Artsakh's writers is a display of such support.

    President of NKR Writers' Union, Vartan Hakobian, presented his
    report on 4 years of the Union's activity. The most important thing,
    he noted, was bringing Artsakh's Union into the all-Armenian literary
    field. Today, NKR Writers' Union has a literary newspaper Yeghitsi
    Luys and a comic magazine Pele Pughi as well as a separate publishing
    house with a capacity to put out more than 10 books annually. Stating
    the state's resolution to support the Union, Hakobian highlighted
    ArtsakhBank's favor to improve writers' housing conditions, help them
    take part in international processes and help in issues connected
    with books' translations.

    The young generation of writers is under special care of the Union.
    According to the report, young writers are granted best conditions
    for book publishing and for participation in literary arrangements
    in Armenia.

    Vartan Hakobian underscored the necessity for the writers to actively
    involve in processes of state governing. This is an urgent issue as
    there has been no writer in legislative and executive powers of the
    country during the decade of independence whereas the Artsakh Movement
    launched in 1988 at the very initiative of writers.

    Prof. Sokrat Khanian presented his report on the present condition of
    Artsakhi fiction. Zhanna Beglarian from University of Grigor Narekatsi
    spoke of recent works of Artsakhi poets.

    An open vote after the reports elected the new administration of the
    Writers' Union of Artsakh. Vartan Hakobian was unanimously re-elected
    the head of administration.
