The people of Artsakh cannot be brought down. Artsakh and the people there continue to live and work. We become more convinced of this with our every visit to Artsakh. Last month, when we were in Artsakh, we visited the Hadrut Art School. In the wake of the war, the school moved to Stepanakert to be housed in the building of the Music School after Komitas. Courses in singing, dancing, drawing, fashion design and various musical instruments; cessation of work at Hadrut Art School did not last long. Shortly after the war, they gathered their strength and began working. The school with a history of half a century has more than 120 students today, not only from Hadrut, but also from Stepanakert. “Now, more than ever, we must all work in our own positions. Culture, too, is a powerful weapon to fight the enemy,” says the Director of the Hadrut Art School, Tatevik Mkrtchyan. The students of the school are convinced that they will return to Hadrut and rebuild their school. Many a work of art will still be born in Hadrut.
