Journal "Novinar", 17.04.2008, Sofia, Interview with author Sevda Sevan, "I am ashamed that our Parliament doesn’t recognize the Armenian genocide".

When asked by Aglika Georgieva, who was her teacher in the art of writing, Sevda replied: "I had the best teacher – my husband, the writer and great editor Varban Stamatov. Up to the first 30 pages he guided me gently but firmly – not scribbling all over my manuscript, but suggesting to me – that "prose has to be muscular, it has to be alive, thriving, to be aromatic. Strain yourself, try to remember the smells" (of early childhood), he used to say to me. So probably those aromas had been just there in my subconscious, because effortlessly, they started arriving."
