Jan. 24 marks 87th birth anniversary of prominent Armenian poet Paruyr Sevak

PanARMENIAN.Net - January 24 marks the 87th birth anniversary of prominent Armenian poet Paruyr Sevak.

Open day is held in Paruyr Sevak’s house-museum.

The poet was born in 1924 in Zangakatun village, Ararat province of Armenia. He made his first steps in poetry when he was 11.

The first pieces of poetry by Sevak were published by Soviet Literature magazine.

The fact that Sevak’s parents had to leave Western Armenia, in an attempt to escape the Armenian Genocide, had a great impact on Sevak’s works.

Sevak also translated works by Pushkin, Lermontov, Yesenin and Blok into Armenian.
