Today an event was carried out in Yerevan State University: "Russian
World" center opened in Armenia.

The center should be equipped with information educational systems,
which makes it accessible for the examination of educational and
scientific materials.

Aram Simonyan, the rector of the YSU, said that the Russian center
is available not only for the students of the university, but also to
those who wish. "The fund inserted all the literature due to its means
and it is not all, as it should be updated. We made some arrangements
on getting physical and chemical literature," he said. Simonyan
said that the center will become an ideal resource center where the
professors should be directed to pass their trainings.

The center is established by means of "Russian World" center, and by
the support of ESY and Serzh Sargsyan.

The head of the center Vicheslav Nikonov said that the center opened
last years with Putin’s support and its establishment in Armenia is
not just a contingency.

"According to our investigation, there is a great interest towards
Russian language and culture," he said.
