NATIONAL DANCE UNION SUPPORTS ARP
Support A1+!RoA National Dance Union together with its 120 dance groups is going to endorse and support the Armenian Republican Party. Chairman of the Union Karen Gevorgyan explained, ' We deeply cognize the role and the necessity of our National Dance both for the education of younger generation and National spiritual value protection. Henceforth, we are certain Armenian Republican Party will bear in mind Nzhdeh ideology of ethnicity and secure the present and the future of our National Culture.'
Yet, neither ARP nor any other party ever supported the union. Karen Gevorgyan focused on the problems the sphere had ever faced and added that this sphere had been the most vulnerable and less appreciated one. Any other art related organization had at least their space and the roof but dancing groups.
' Can you show me any street, any museum, any house that have been defined by any dance figure? Are there any primary and secondary arts to protect national values? No, there aren't. Who said that writers, composers, musicians have the right to rest, whereas dance-art does not belong to any art genre,' he stated and added that they had been suffering that disease, ' Do you know that the whole archive of Srbuhi Lisitsyan, the whole heritage of Vahram Aristakesyan are all getting spoilt in the boxes. Is anybody concerned about it? Another 5-10 years will put an end to our dance-art. RoA National Dance Union has many times introduced Dance art regulations with its standards to different ministers. I suggest to create an ethnographic dance group to preserve the ancient dances. We have got a 10-year-program. Yet, our letter has always been neglected. The ministry has got a standard letter form where they just need to change the name and return it back,” Karen Gevorgyan complained.
In fact, RoA National Dance Union is organizing Pan-Armenian festival.
