As Hakob Ghazanchyan told a news conference in Yerevan, over the last 2 years, 15 performances were staged with the help of the Union, which is a pretty good result for a small country like Armenia. Among performances staged are Komitas’ 10 Commandments by Tsolak Mlke-Galstyan, Seville Girl by Hasmik Verdyan, Lucien Luke by Narek Nersisyan and others. As Ghazanchyan further noted, 8 young Armenian directors will be participating in Moscow-hosted Chekhov International Theatre Festival, with the Union to refund the travel for 4 of them.
