On April 26, an event dedicated to the birth centenary of prominent Armenian poet Paruyr Seval took place at RAU.
 
As part of the event not only did RAU students recite poems, but they also performed dances and songs.

 

“It happens to me quite often that I ponder on how Paruyr Sevak would conduct himself in our days, and what an attitude he would have towards the ongoing events, - shared RAU Rector, professor Edward Sandoyan. - I would like to see our children adhere to those values that were bestowed on us by Armenian literature and our great poets.”

 

As RAU lecturer and the organizer of the event Naira Iskandaryan emphasized, Paruyr Sevak was a poet of great joy and tragedies; he loved his fatherland not only as a son, but also as a father and “owner”, and deeply empathized with his nation.

 

“Today, we once again turned to Armenian literature. I believe that these days it is of great importance to us” - assured Head of RAU Department of Armenian Language and Literature Azat Yegiazaryan. 

 

It should be noted that the event was organized by the RAU Department of Armenian Language and Literature.
