Art has never had, and even today, it lacks a definite and authoritative definition. A disparity of definitions of art is what is the only credible and constant fact.

Armenians were naturally relieved upon learning that Tsarni had told the Mirror-Spectator: "Armenia has a very strong culture, therefore, I want to stress that his [Misha’s] ethnicity has nothing to do with it.
