ATTEMPT TO RESTORE SHATTERED LITERARY BRIDGES
At the initiative of the Union of Armenians of Russia (UAR), Russian writers paid a two-day visit to Armenia and met on September 18 their Armenian colleagues at the Writers’ Union of Armenia (WUA). Time was short and the get-together did not turn into a relaxed powwow of friends. Russian writers informed their Armenian colleagues about the situation, approaches and tendencies in the literary world. Armenian and Russian writers emphasized the importance of restoring the former literary bridges and mutual visits. Levon Ananian, chairman of the WUA, thanked Ara Abrahamian (UAR) for organizing this meeting.
All Russian writers were somehow connected with our country for whom the Armenian culture is not a terra incognita.
