PUBLISHING WORK OF THE CATHOLICOSATE OF CILICIA
CONTINUES TO THRIVE
The publication of classic literary works, encouragement of new writers and
new forms of literary writing, making Armenian literature accessible to the
public has been a major concern for His Holiness Catholicos Aram I.
The Kalouste Gulbenkian Foundation, Armenian Section continues to
collaborate with the publications project of the Catholicosate of Cilicia.
As a result of the close collaboration between His Holiness Aram I and Dr
Zaven Yegavian Director, many important volumes of Armenian classics have
been published.
The Kevork Melidentsi Literary Award, Richard and Tina Kaloyan Fund for
Publication, and Khatchik Babikian Fund for Publications, each with its own
Board members also contributes to this major effort.
The Catholicosate expresses its deep appreciation to the sponsors, the
authors and the public who help the survival, revival and renewal of
Armenian literature, and calls upon new authors to present their works to
any of these Boards.
