Armenian poetry and prose in Russian, Persian, German and in other
languages.

The chairman of the Armenian Writers’ Union touched upon the activities
of their own publishing house, which is after Levon Zaven Syurmelyan,
a writer who writes in English.

books with the governmental order coincided. We already have our own
publishing house, and the books that we have won by a contest will
be published in our publishing house", – L. Ananyan stressed.

collection of the poems of Levon – Zaven Syurmelyan as he has started
writing in Armenian and has written poems, and this will be a way to
respect the author.

reader relation is being overcome.

"We can’t say that today the Armenian Nation is not reading books.

This movement has begun and we have to deepen it more", – stressed
Levon Ananyan.
