The structure of RA Writers' Union needs to be changed

PanARMENIAN.Net - July 4's meeting of Writers' Union will focus on the election of Union Chairman. Recently opinions divided: a number of writers spoke in support of current Chairman Levon Ananyan, others criticized Ananyan, while taking sides with his opponent, poet Razmik Davoyan. A young generation of writers expressed their views on the last day of election struggle.



"A writer shouldn't busy himself with personal life of Union Chairman and engage in pre-election struggle. Writer's time should be spent on his creative work," a young poet Vahe Arsen spoke up. "On the other hand, all the stir around the elections could serve as a means to draw society's attention and arise a sound interest to our Union."



According to Vahe Arsen, a person who's already exhausted himself as a writer and will be capable of conducting administrative work should be elected as Union Chairman. The poet believes, Levon Ananyan successfully fulfills his duties as a Chairman. Literature critic Arkmenik Nikoghosyan and prose writer Mikhael Abajian disagreed.



In his turn, Arkmenik Nikoghosyan said, "Armenia's literature life is in a deplorable state today. The structure of RA Writers' Union needs to be changed."
