LET’S GIVE NOT ONLY FLOWERS AND PERFUME
Yerkir/arm
March 10, 2006
The National Library has launched a new initiative of restoring the
old tradition of giving books as presents.
“No one is against men giving flowers or expensive gifts to women,”
says Davit Sargsian, the director of the library. “But giving books
is also a good tradition. Before, we would buy books and give them
as gifts to our friends.”
He made this remark during a news conference at the National
Library. Two books were presented, both dedicated to mothers. The
first one was Levon Lachikian’s “Ode to Mothers,” which contains
poetry and stories dedicated to mothers.
The other one was “ABC of Mother Tongue” published under sponsorship
of the Armenian Apostolic Church’s Eastern US Diocese.
