    Vardaton celebrated in Tbilisi

    June 2, 2013 - 18:48 AMT

    PanARMENIAN.Net - Vardaton (holiday of roses) dedicated to Armenian
    poet and musician Sayat-Nova was celebrated in Tbilisi. Famed writer
    Hovhannes Tumanyan was the first to celebrate the holiday in 1914.

    The event was attended by Georgian Prime Minister Bidzina Ivanishvili
    who congratulated the local Armenian community on the holiday.
    Ivanishvili described Vardaton as a common holiday for both Georgians
    and Armenians, deeming Sayat-Nova as a symbol of Gerogian-Armenian
    friendship.
    `Sayat-Nova was a famous Armenian poet who was killed in the monastery
    by the invading army of Mohammad Khan Qajar. He was a great humanist.
    Sayat-Nova is equally dear to both Armenian and Georgian people,'
    Ivanishvili said.
