    On April 14, the U.S. Embassy marked the re-opening of the Yerevan
    American Corner at the City Central Library's new location by the
    Republic Square Metro Station. The inauguration also marks the Corner's
    fourth year of operations in Yerevan.

    In her remarks, Ambassador Marie L. Yovanovitch said, "The United
    States has a longstanding commitment to spreading the ideas and values
    of American democracy, and to engaging and maintaining an open dialogue
    with people throughout the world."

    American Corners are small American-style libraries that provide
    information about America in a variety of formats, including reference
    books, works of fiction, journals, and videos. The Corners also provide
    computers with Internet access, and offer a variety of public programs
    including speakers and workshops. The American Corners are open to the
    general public and access is free of charge. A network of over 400
    American Corners is operating globally through partnerships between
    the U.S. Department of State and local host organizations.

    The American Corner program officially began in Armenia in April 2005
    when the U.S. Embassy inaugurated the first Corner in Yerevan. Over the
    past four years, over 35,000 people have visited the corner. Additional
    Corners are located in Gyumri, Vanadzor and Kapan.
