    YEREVAN. - Armenia's Honored Art Worker, great arts and craftsman,
    and unrivaled master of miniature sculpting Eduard Ghazaryan died on
    Monday at the age of 89, the Culture Ministry informs.

    Ghazaryan displayed his first creations, which were invisible to naked
    eye, in the capital Yerevan in 1947. And all through his long career,
    he created around 1,000 unique micro sculptures.

    Eduard Ghazaryan was also a talented musician and a master and
    innovating violinist.

    In 1983 alone, Ghazaryan's name was mentioned nine times in the
    Russian Divo Book of Records.

    The Americans who visited the great master's exhibition in Los Angeles
    had called the event the "Eighth Wonder of the World."

    Also, Ghazaryan had created a musical "automatic weapon" which did
    not kill, but rather had around forty musical instruments of different
    nations installed on it.

    In 2006, the International Biographical Centre of Cambridge, England,
    had declared Eduard Ghazaryan as one of the most brilliant people of
    all time, and had awarded him with the "Living Legend" Gold Medal.
