in construction of a building for the Isahakyan Library in Yerevan,

chairman of Armenian Unibank's board, said on Thursday.
He told journalists that the company bought former building of the
library for constructing a trade-office center Amiryan Plaza, where
the library will be moved after completion of the construction.
Before that, the library was placed temporarily in newly repaired
1255-square-meter premises. The library started working here in
March 2009.
Zakaryan said that when the library moves to Amiryan Plaza, this
building will be used for commercial purposes. He said that Uniinvest's
programs with the library can be enlarged.

the library in cooperation with Russian Embassy in Armenia. Hasmik

1000 readers a day and 30,000 to 35,000 a year.

meters.This gives room for providing customers with comfort.
The library has 18 sections, including wide book depository, two
reading halls, one conference hall for exhibitions and presentations
and a small garden. The Central Library was established in 1935.
In 1955, the library was named for Armenian poet Avetik Isahakyan.It
is the second biggest library in the country. This municipal library
has seven branches and children's and art branches.
The library keeps 700,000 books. Uniinvest is constructing Amiryan
Plaza and is also implementing other investment projects in Armenia.

RESO Garantia, one of three Russian leading insurance companies, on
establishing UNIRESO insurance company. The corporation also invests
money in foundation of GEGAMET engaged in exploring fields of chrome
and ferrochrome and other metals in Armenia.
