10 library buses to appear in Armenia thanks to beneficiaries’ contribution

10 mobile library buses will appear in Armenia thanks to the funds of beneficiaries, Armenian Culture Minister Armen Amiryan said in the parliament on Monday, speaking at the debate on the report of the 2016 State Budget performance.

They will tour through towns and villages, where it is hard for residents to reach large libraries. It will be possible to borrow a book from the library, and return it when the bus is back.

“US businessman Vahe Karapetian is already ready to buy one of such buses. We have agreed with beneficiaries regarding the other nine as well,” the minister said.

“I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
