YREVAN, MARCH 5, NOYAN TAPAN. This year Armenian pulishers will
participate in several international exhibitions, including in those
in Moscow, Frankfort and Tehran. NT correspondent was informed by
Seyranuhi Geghamian, head of the publishing unit of the literary
and publishing agency of the RA ministry of culture that interest in
books about Armenia’s culture, history and life has grown abroad in
recent years. In her words, in the past 4-5 years a number of programs
have been implemented with the aim of presenting Armenian culture
and literature abroad, and these programs will have a continuous
character. "We attach great importance to dissemination of books both
abroad and in our country because our distant villages are almost
cut off from literature. The best way to present Armenia outside is
by means of books," S. Geghamian said.
