/PanARMENIAN.Net/ The Institute of Ancient Manuscripts, Matenadaran,
is celebrating the 50th anniversary in 2009.

Today, a capsule with commemorative note was laid in the foundation
of Matenadaran new building.

The ceremony was attended by Armenian President Serzh Sargsyan,
Catholicos of All Armenians Karekin II, Matenadaran director Hrachya
Tamrazyan, architect Arthur Meschyan and a number of high raking
officials.

"The new building will provide a climate for scientific events. The
main building will have 6 exposition halls. The facade of the building
will remain unchangeable. A small part of the new building will be
seen from Mashtots Avenue," architect Arthur Meschyan said.

Construction of the new building will be presumably finished by
September 11, 2011.
