YEREVAN, SEPTEMBER 28, ARMENPRESS: Armenia will take part in the
international book fair to be held October 14-19 in the German
Frankfurt town. Head of the publication agency of the Armenian Culture
Ministry Eduard Militonian told Armenpress that compared with 2008 this
time the books published in Armenia are intended to be presented in
a larger pavilion. Not only fiction, science-fiction and children’s,
but also translated books as well as books on economy, political
science and philosophy, albums, encyclopedias will be presented.
Special attention will be paid to publications dedicated to the world
famous writer William Saroian. According to Militonian participation
in such fairs has a great importance for publishers. They have an
opportunity to get acquainted with the news of publication, obtain
new partners as well as to propose joint projects.
Each year numerous publishers, writers, translators as well as
representatives of prominent libraries from 120 states take part in the
Frankfurt book fair. Besides book presentation seminars, roundtables,
readings and other cultural events are also held.
According to the tradition each year a state becomes an honorary
guest. In 2008 Turkey was the honorary guest, in 2009 China will be.
This is already the 17th time Armenia takes part in this exhibition.
