From different Yerevan administrative districts, 115 youth today laid 115 carnation flowers at the monument dedicated to Armenian poet Yeghishe Charents, who would’ve been 115 years old today.<\/p>\n

“It would be good, of course, if all the boys were curly-haired [referring to a famous Charents’ poem] \u2014 they even joked that it’s now possible to get curls, but you wouldn’t take an Armenian boy to get a fake perm… whoever is curly-haired and whoever isn’t, it doesn’t matter, [all] will participate. Yerevan City Hall’s education department conceived [of the idea]. The selection was made among youth from different schools.<\/p>\n

“Outfits with lines from Charent’s poems and caps with Charents 115 [inscribed on them] were ordered, but so the children don’t get cold [wearing just the caps and shirts], we thought to mark the day with ‘Curly-Haired Boy’ [the name of the poem]. Charents prescribed that we should keep our country strong, and we are following that message and affirming it with a march,” deputy chair of the Department of General Education at Yerevan City Hall Silva Achoyan told Epress.am.<\/p>\n

Participating in the march which began from Charents’ house-museum were president of the Writers’ Union of Armenia Levon Ananyan, municipality representatives, and public school teachers and students.<\/p>\n

Also joining the march of “curly-haired boys” to the monument were also female students.<\/p>\n

“We told the girls to be seen as little as possible in the march, but, as you can see, they’ve joined their fellow curly-haired male classmates,” said Achoyan, adding that through such events Charents won’t be forgotten but will become alive for students.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
