Former President Robert Kocharian used to invite his guests to a jazz club. Should these high-ranking guests be invited to a concert of Komitas or Khachaturian’s works, our Ministers, as a habit, will follow them,” Ginosyan said. He also noted that modern Armenian show business can lead to extermination of national culture.
