YEREVAN, AUGUST 27, ARMENPRESS: President of the Republic Serzh Sargsyan, Prime Minister Tigran Sargsyan, parliamentarians, members of government, social-cultural figures, the art loving public representatives cast today their last farewell to Armenian people’s artist, Vladimir Msryan who passed away at the age of 72 from leukemia.
Deputy culture minister Arev Samuelyan said everyone mourns today. “There is a big hole in our hearts. Of course I see many young actors but his Paganini or Herostrat will always stay in the world films and theatrical art,” she said.
Chairman of the Union of the Armenian Theatrical Figures Hakob Ghazanchyan said Vladimir Msryan was really unrepeatable as his kind was very special.
Armenia’s People’s artist Arthur Utmazyan said there are irreplaceable people. “Of course, there will be those who will play Hamlet, Caesar, but they will not have Vova’s heart, blood. The loss is great for all,” he noted.
The art director of the Stanislavski Russian Theatre of Drama Alexander Grigoryan remembered that Vladimir Msryan started his activity from the Russian theatre. “He was devoted to the theatre. It is very difficult to speak about him in a past tense, he never envied anyone, he was just in love with theatre,” Grigoryan said, adding that “now the cemeteries are enriching and we are becoming poor,” he said.
