NA vice speaker declares contest for text of the new hymn
Vice speaker of Armenian parliament Alen Simonyan has stated about declaring a contest for the text of new hymn.
In the Facbook post Simonyan said that he has set up a task group which declares a contest for a text to the Aram Khachaturyan music and will sum up the results in two months and select one variant.
The results of the contest will be summed up on April 30 but the winner variant will not become the hymn at once.
“It will not be included in the agenda of the NA but will be put for public discussion. When time comes and we feel that we may refer to it, the issue will be discussed,” Simonyan said.
The vice speaker said that the variants of the text may be sent to [email protected] e-mail address or to Aram Khachaturyan museum or be addressed to his office.
