The press conference dedicated to the 7th anniversary of Narekatsi Art Union turned into a heated debate on the union's court case and perverted cultural values.

"We do not have another cultural establishment like Narekatsi and we must all "take arms" to protect the centre. If we lose Narekatsi today, tomorrow we shall lose our homeland," said composer Arthur Shahnazaryan.

A criminal case has been instituted against Narek Harutyunyan [founder of the art union] on charges of tax evasion.

"Some evil forces are working against me and harming our mission. They want to appropriate our property and are executing a domestic order," said Harutyunyan.
