President Serzh Sargsyan sent a letter of condolences on the demise of the world famous poet, writer and screenwriter Tonino Guerra. The letter of condolences addressed to the family of Tonino Guerra reads,

“I learned with pain the news on the demise of Tonino Guerra. We have lost a sturdy branch at the huge oak of the world cinema. We have lost an artist whose works have been radiating joy, rapture and kindness not only in his native Italy but all over the world. This genius and wonderful Italian was a great friend of Armenia and the Armenian nation. His visits to our country left marks in the hearts and souls of our creative people. Reciprocally, Armenia inspired and touched the great Tonino to a degree that he dedicated a wonderful poem to our country and our people.

On behalf of the Armenian people, I express heartfelt condolences to you, your family, and the Italian people. The loss is tremendous and painful. At this moment, Tonino Guerra’s masterpieces are the only consolation; they are with us now and are heading toward Eternity.”
