Levon Tokmajyan: What sculpture did they put in Vatican? (video)
In recent years, different policies have been taken in cultural life. Ruben Babayan, Director of Yerevan State Puppet Theater after Hovhannes Tumanyan and Levon Tokmajyan, People's Artist of the Republic of Armenia, mentioned this at the meeting with journalists today. "Over the past 10 years, different policies have been taken towards culture, perhaps because of the different prime ministers. I think no president, no prime minister or minister can give birth to a talented person. The whole problem is to discover the talents, to create the appropriate conditions for the talents to be able to create," said Ruben Babayan. Ruben Babayan sees a dangerous trend in the arts during the past two years. Culture begins to be perceived as purely by entertainment and entertainment laws. "If a product is sold, the it's good, if it is not, then it's bad. This is a dangerous principle and needs to be reformed. There is no need to adopt reform as only financially. Reduction of finance in the sphere of culture, education and science is only a reduction of finances rather than reforms. " Artist Levon Tokmajyan linked hopes to Serzh Sargsyan "Serzh Sargsyan is a capable person. We all know that he will be the Prime Minister. He can change a lot if he wishes. But as today's people and state bodies are separated from each other, what we do is the same as beating around the bushes.

But as today's people and state bodies are separated from each other, what we do is the same, as if we beat water. " Levon Tokmajyan, referring to Naregatsi's statue in Vatican, considered it a shame. "What sculpture did they put in Vatican? What a beggar it is, how can the Holy Book be placed at his feet, when the Holy Book should be kept above his head? The image is like a blind "beggar". This is Naregatsi's global recognition. Here is also the weakness of our power, because the agility is something else, but the ability to sink in the image is quite another. According to him, the statue sculptor David Babayan was not a sculptor; during his stay in Paris, Edward Nalbandian was an ambassador and Levon Tokmajyan supposed that the relationship created between the sculptor and Edward Nalbandian was the reason why the monument was erected in Vatican.
