“I am deeply saddened over the Armenian SSR People’s Artist, actress of Hakob Paronyan State Theatre of Musical Comedy Svetlana Grigoryan’s death.

The comic characters and roles played by the talented actress were impressive and sincere and full of positive energy. Svetlana Grigoryan’s stage art was an uninterrupted link with audience, a simple and intimate dialogue constantly mixed up with animated humour and laughter. She will remain like that in our memory, with her unique trace left in the Armenian theatrical art and culture.

I sincerely express my condolence to Svetlana Grigoryan’s relatives and a big number of her art fans and I share their grief.”
