Armenian dramatists to attend gathering in Iran

Ten Armenian dramatists will travel to Iran in November in order to attend a gathering, which has been organized by the Center of Playwrights of the Iranian Theater Forum.

The travel is part of an agreement, which was singed between the center and the Writers’ Union of Armenia last year, the center’s spokesman Behzad Seddiqi told the Persian service of ISNA on Friday.

Nelly Shahnazaryan, Karine Khodikian and Gagik-Sargis Karapetyan are among the members of the group.

Groups of Iranian thespians will read Persian versions of several plays authored by Armenian dramatists at the Iranian Artists Forum during the Armenian playwrights’ seven-day sojourn in Tehran.
