90 years ago busted the frank artery of our history. Which is the guilt of our nation surrendered to the massacre, which was deprived of first from his children, land and water related to kinship...?
Today the world speaks out about the Armenian genocide. And many events and inspiring matinees are organized nearly everywhere which keep our memories and straggling soul vigilant and awake.
In 1980, on October the 2nd, at the 7-8 o’clock AM (I don’t know exactly the time), in Abovyan city I was born...and in the same day my name was baptized, which is more my grandfathers than mine – Ararat Kharatyan. So within one year I was taken to the kinder garden with brawl and bully, then I studied for 8 years in # 10 school and as I was “smart” pupil I was moved to the # 5 school and I finished my 10 grade with “honor and glory”. As from the age of 14 he has been working in the Abovyan Dramatic Theatre and crazy of this sphere, he has decided to become an actor. So at once he has applied for the Yerevan StateUniversity of Theatre and Cinema: “I couldn’t pass the exams as the commission thought I had poor artistic abilities. But I didn’t loose my hope, so I applied for the second time and entered (hurrah) the faculty of dramatic theatre and film. I studied in the studio of Zaven Tatinyanc. The latest one baptized me an actor”.
