Karine Khodikian, RA Deputy Culture and Youth Affairs Minister,
informed that a unique event is being held within the framework of
the 15th anniversary of the Armenian Armed Forces and the liberation
of Shoushi.

In particular, the Artsakh based libraries received 3478 books. All
of the books were newly printed, published within the framework of
the state order. The collection included classical books, as well
as modern literature, books for children, encyclopedias, translated
books and critical literature. The collection will be distributed to
the libraries located in both towns and the villages of Artsakh. The
Artsakh people were glad to receive such a precious present, as
the libraries of the republic are always crowded with readers of
various ages. Mrs. Khodikian emphasized the importance of paying great
attention to the book publishing, of supporting such state programs,
as the demand of classical literature is great not only in Artsakh
but also in Armenia.
