Doctor Hovhannes Oyunjyan, working in New York for 65 years, who opened a hypermodern art school in Gyumri, had his own clinic in New York. It was one of the most popular and required medical facilities. I the conversation with us, the doctor said that he was treating 30-35 patients per day, not even being able to relax at night. According to him, now he closed the clinic, shut its doors because he is retired now. But, the 94 -year-old doctor has moved all his earning in New York to Armenia. For the sake of the rest of his father’s and his mother’s soul, he has built schools in Gyumri. Today, the school building of art named after her sister, Varduhi, was opened. He is also planning to establish a school of crafts.
In the conversation with us, the doctor cited the example of Alexander the Great, who prior to his death called his servant and asked him to write down his will. The Lord of the world writes in his will to put him in the coffin with his palms out to show to the world that he takes nothing with him. “Now I will explain, when I die, I should go with my coffin, what I have I should do here, with a hole in my pocket I will leave this world and go,” says the reputable doctor. And in the end of the conversation, the great benefactor said jokingly that both the governor of Shirak and the president of the country like him as what he had earned in the New York clinical, he had brought here. “When you bring money to this country, every man would like you…,” said doctor Oyunjyan with laughter.
