    MOSCOW, OCTOBER 31, ARMENPRESS: As part of Year of Armenia in Russia
    monument to the world-famous Armenian composer Aram Khachaturian was
    inaugurated today in Moscow with the participation of the Armenian
    President Robert Kocharian, Russian First Lady Lyudmila Putina,
    Moscow Mayor Yuri Luzhkov and others.

    The monument made by sculptor Georgi Frangulian and architect Igor
    Voskresenski is erected near the House of Composers. "The opening
    of the monument is one of the best events of the Year of Armenia in
    Russia declared by the presidents of the two countries. Year, within
    the framework of which we are giving new impetus to our spiritual,
    economic, political and human relations," Moscow mayor said adding
    that Aram Khachaturian is the classic of world culture in the works
    of which people see national music and Armenia's beauty.

    Luzhkov highly assessed the public activity of Khachaturian and pointed
    out that it is a high time to combine the spiritual potential of the
    two countries.

    President of Armenia Robert Kocharian said that it is a great honor and
    pride for any nation when a monument to its sons is being erected in
    another country. And the pride doubles when the son, in this case Aram
    Khachaturian, is loved in Russia as much as he is loved in Armenia.

    According to the Armenian president, the life and fate of Aram
    Khachaturian is wonderful example which shows how the cultures
    and fates of the Armenian and Russian peoples are merged. "We are
    often being asked whether we do everything necessary so that the
    new generation remembers about our distinguished and general pages,
    how our fates are tied with each other.

    The works of Aram Khachaturian always remind us about our general
    past," Kocharian said.

    The Russian First Lady Lyudmila Putina considered it symbolizing
    that the monument to the composer has been erected nearby the music
    institutions of Moscow where Aram Khachaturian lived and worked.

    She said the monument also symbolizes the friendship existing
    between the Armenian and Russian peoples. The Chairman of the Russian
    Composers' Union Vladislav Kazeni said that Aram Khachaturian's music
    is eternal and tells about happiness, love and beauty of the world
    for which everyone must fight.
