YEREVAN, August 25 (Noyan Tapan). "Rober Hattechian's literary heritage had greatly influence not only on the Diaspora, but on the modern prose of Armenia." Levon Ananian, Chairman of the Armenian Writer's Union, characteried Rober Hattechian's activities in this way during his meeting with the Armenian writer of Constantinople held at the Armenian Writer's Union on August 25. He gave assurance that Rober Hattechian's great literary-publicistic heritage will be studied both by literary critics and press theoreticians in the future, and the future historian will really evaluate his public-national activities. There was an opinion that the Armenian writers living in Constantinople can't preserve and protect their national thinking. But according to Levon Ananian, the literature of the Armenians of Constantinople has started reviving due to a group of writers Zahrat, Zareh Khrakhuni, Igna Saraslan, Vard Shikaher and Rober Hattechian since the 50s of last century. "Really it is quite difficult, but these writers fulfilled the problem put before them with honor," mentioned Levon Ananian. Rober Hattechian started appearing in the literary scene since the 40s of last century. The prosaist is the editor of the "Marmara" daily newspaper from 1967 to present. He has published about 50 books. Since 1981 his memoirs have been published in "Marmara". Later they are periodically released with separate books entitled "Hushatetr" ("Scrap-Book").
