A group of nine Iranian playwrights left Tehran for Yerevan to attend a meeting with members of the Writers’ Union of Armenia, Tehran Times reports.

The group includes Behzad Seddiqi, Mohammad-Amir Yarahmadi, Alireza Naderi, Susan Rahimi, Salma Salamati, Bahram Jalalipur, Sadeq Safaii, Mehdi Mirbaqeri and Andranik Khochumian.
A number of Armenian Troupes are scheduled to perform plays and play readings for the Iranian group.
In addition, Armenian translations of some Iranian plays will be unveiled during the meeting, center spokesman Behzad Seddiqi said in a press release on Wednesday.
Among the plays are “Old Blade” written by Mohammad-Amir Yarahmadi, “Esmaeil Aqa’s Haunt” by Hamid Amjad and “Love Story from the Death of the Moon in the Month of Ordibehesht” by Mohammad Charmshir.
