YEREVAN, JUNE 26, NOYAN TAPAN. A national anthem should be
a dedication, a prayer concentrating and presenting a country's
history and not some creation. Poet Davit Hovhannes, member of
the commission created for the purpose of selecting lyrics and
music for RA national anthem, expressed such an opinion at the
June 27 press conference. According to him, they should find the
variant of the anthem that will have elements of march with a
military key. At the same tome he offers the "Armenia - Heavenly
Country" creation remade by Komitas as RA national anthem, which
according to him, corresponds to the process of our country's
history, as well as makes an impression of a prayer.
As writer, publicist Perch Zeytuntsian affirmed, we should
not deny all possible variants of selection of an anthem and
only base ourselves on Aram Khachatrian's creation. "If there is
an anthem better than the previous one I will prefer it,"
P.Zeytuntsian said. The writer offers to make such a choice
that will express "the national spirit and will be close to
every Armenian."
