An Evening Dedicated to Armenian Writers Avetik Isahakyan and Vahan Teryan

On March 21, an evening dedicated to the renowned Armenian writers Avetik Isahakyan and Vahan Teryan took place at the Armenian Cultural Center. The date was not chosen by chance, as March 21 is World Poetry Day. The great writers were selected based on the fact that this year marks the 150th anniversary of Avetik Isahakyan and the 140th anniversary of Vahan Teryan.
The literary evening was organized by two volunteers from the Armenian Cultural Fund—Flora Hambardzumyan and Shogher Manukyan. The event featured presentations on the literary contributions of Avetik Isahakyan and Vahan Teryan, highlighting their significance in Armenian literature. Films about both writers were screened.
Poems by Avetik Isahakyan and Vahan Teryan were recited by Miklós Soros, Flora Hambardzumyan, Argine Margaryan, Anzhela Matevosyan, and Libor Laura. Additionally, songs with lyrics written by Avetik Isahakyan and Vahan Teryan were performed by Ara Ghazaryan, Anzhela Matevosyan, and Movses Ayaryan, accompanied by Shogher Manukyan (cello), Irena Martirosyan (piano), and Movses Ayaryan (guitar).
The event brought together Armenians living in Hungary to celebrate the works of Avetik Isahakyan and Vahan Teryan.
