In the last 15 years literature for the blind people has not been
published, and the new published books are not accessible for them,
says Yuri Avetisyan, the executive director of "Culture House" named
after Sokrat Shahnazaryan of Union of Blind of Armenia. Currently
there are 2500 issue books and 350 recorded books for the blind.
According to the executive director, by the support of the state new
books are being published. 12 thousands AMD have been disposed by
the state for its implementation.
Besides, the staff of the culture house does everything to make the
conditions in the library more comfortable. "We’d like to see our
readers sitting comfortable in the library and reading the books
there, as the books sometimes are so thick that it is difficult to
carry them," he said.
