THREE VOLUMES OF ARMENIAN ANTHOLOGY IN ENGLISH RELEASED

YEREVAN, DECEMBER 14, ARMENPRESS: The first three
volumes of English language anthology of Armenian
literature were presented today. This extensive work
that took 24 months became possible due to generous
financing of the Armenian General Benevolent Union
(AGBU).
The first volumes embrace the Armenian drama,
poetry and prose, enabling English-language readers to
shape an impression of the Armenian literature.
Chairman of the Union of Armenian Writers, Levon
Ananian, said the books include the best works of
Armenian playwrights, poets and prose authors.
"We are proving to the international community that
we have presently a literature,:"’ he said. Ashot
Ghazarian from the AGBU Armenia Office said the Union
has been assisting Armenian writers for a decade.

Emil Lazarian: “I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
