Minister of Health Shares Favorite Lines from Tumanyan on Poet's Birthday

Minister of Health Arsen Torosyan has joined a flashmob celebrating the birthday of the renowned Armenian poet Hovhannes Tumanyan by sharing one of his verses on his Facebook page.

“The lines that have left the deepest impression on me from the great poet are these…”

“When our song with a joyful sound rang out,
The gloomy toastmaster twisted his mustache,
With him, they took the full glasses
All the great ones
And blessed us: - 'Live on, children,
But do not live as we do…,'” he wrote.
