“Karine” operetta by Tigran Chukhajyan that was staged in Paris was presented in our country in "Narekaci" Art Centre. As French director and actor Jirayr Papzyan informed during the press conference on July 27, “Karine” operetta was successfully accepted in Paris and then they received an invitation from theatre “Odeon” in Marseille which is the birthplace of operettas. Jirayr Papazyan noted that theatre and acting are the main mission of an actor, but as an Armenian he thinks he has to present the Armenian art to the European audience. “Nobody gives money for the Armenian works, we can’t even rely on the Armenian community in France, as no one is interested in the Armenian culture there,” the actor said.
