    ANOTHER "OUR MOTHERLAND"

    The talks on introducing changes into the RA hymn were followed by
    practical steps. Composer Robert Amirkhanyan presented his version
    of the hymn in the Yerevan State University.

    The composer claims that the music is the outcome of his assiduous and
    year-long work and it has constantly been worked out. The author of
    the words is again Amirkhanyan. By his step of presenting his version
    of the hymn he shows his love for the country, maintaining that only
    in this way one can prove that he is not indifferent to his homeland.

    "Today I share my feelings with people who are concerned whether we do
    anything or not. I had a few tasks. I strove to find the spirit and
    inspiration of revival. It is rather difficult to create a symbol
    within a moment and a half which is likely to remain for ever,"
    says the composer.

    While speaking of the music of the hymn of the Soviet Armenia the
    composer stated that it is the symbol of the second republic. "The
    third republic must have its symbol and improve it in the future,"
    claims Amirkhanyan.

    Robert Amirkhanyan is going to present his work in the competition
    and claims that the public must listen to all the versions before
    the final decision of the Committee is made.

    Conductor and head of the Chamber orchestra Robert Mlkeyan supported
    Robert Amirkhanyan's opinion on this score. "We had an excellent hymn
    written by Khachatryan but it is no longer the hymn of Armenia.

    The present hymn is inadmissible, humiliating and improper. As a
    citizen of RA I want it to be changed," noted Robert Mlkeyan.
