Armenia’s Acharian University has established a new research center
called the House of Rumi to highlight the Persian poet’s life
philosophy and literary career.

The center is founded in association with Iran’s cultural attaché to
Yerevan.

Reza Otufi said that his office plans future cultural programs in
Armenia including a Rumi conference, a poetry night and publication
of several books about the Persian transcendental poet.

Otufi also said that several Iranian feature films will screen at
Armenian film festivals later this year, including a retrospective to
highlight Iran’s female filmmakers.
