TODAY KAREN DEMIRCHYAN WOULD BE 75
Support A1+!Today, Karen Demirchyan could celebrate his 75th anniversary. It is 8 years he has not been with us; his relatives, friends and just ordinary people visit his tomb in Pantheon after Komitas. People used to call him ' Karen the Constructor' as Karen Serobovich was at the head of the country during the years of prosperity and development of Armenia.
In the years of 1966-1972 he had been the Secretary of Yerevan Civic Committee of Communist party, then the Second Secretary. In 1972, he was the Secretary of Central Committee of Communist Party of Armenia (CPA). At the age of 42, Mr. Demirchyan was appointed the First Secretary of CPA in 1974, and had been in the post till May, 1988.
He had deserved public fame and respect in the period of 14 years in politics. He came back when there was the need for it. And he was able to excite and bring back the minute “seed of hope” among people. He was about to do it together with Vazgen Sargsyan but for the disastrous accident.
The 75th anniversary will be celebrated officially. A number of events will be held. On April 21, at 6:00 p.m. the memorial meeting will take place in The Opera and Ballet Theatre after Al. Spendiaryan.
On April 20, at 2:00 p.m the solemn opening of “Karen Demirchyan” museum will take place.
