On May 27 in Tsakhkadzor the gala concert of the Republican Recitation Children-Youth Sixth Contest-Festival held under the auspice of the RA NA President Hovik Abrahamyan took place. This time the festival was dedicated to well-acclaimed poets Paruyr Sevak and Hamo Sahyan.
It was noted that 6 years ago the Republican Recitation Festival began its triumphant campaign on the initiative of the President of the National Assembly Hovik Abrahamyan. It was inclined to restoring love towards the Armenian Literature and poetry among the schoolchildren. The recitation festival started with the participation of 3000 children, now that number reached to 180.000. The success was not limited by this: the geography of the festival had also been expanded, including Artsakh and Javakhk. For six years the NA President, despite the loaded schedule, had permanently followed its procedure.
32 best reciters had passed to the final phase of the festival. The children’s recitation and singing gave a special festive mood to the attendees. “All this is a result of teamwork, hence today all of us won,” the NA President noted and added that every child is the pride of our country.
The best participants of the festival also enjoyed grand prix prizes. The happy winners were taken photos with the NA President. And all those, who did not stand on platform of honour, noted that they will certainly take part in the Republican Recitation Seventh Festival.
