LONDON, July 31 (IranMania) - The job of translating and interpreting
the holy Qur'an into Armenian language which is undertaken by the
Iranian Cultural Office in Yerevan is now in its final stage, Iran
Daily reported.
Announcing this, Iran's Cultural Attache in Yerevan Reza Atoufi said
that given the repeated requests by Armenian scientific, religious,
cultural and church figures, initially the last two chapters of the
holy book were translated into Armenian language.
'Two other chapters of the book were also translated in 2003 while in
2004 five chapters were also published,' he noted.
The chief translator of the book is Azim Edward Haqverdian, an
Armenian of Iranian origin, who has been residing in that country for
25 years.
Given the progress of the project, the full Armenian version of the
holy Qur'an will be published this year, said Atoufi.
