    A Republican science conference, entitled "The Jahukian Readins,"
    will gather together scholars and experts at Yerevan's Institute of
    Linguistics of Armenia's National Science Academy after H. Atcharian
    on May 6-7.

    Institute's deputy director Nazik Hovhannisian told journalists that
    28 speakers from Armenia and Nagorno Karabakh's colleges will deliver
    their presentations to the conference. This year's conference is
    being held for the fifth time.

    "The Jahukian Readins have been holding since 2006, marking the fifth
    time this year," Nazik Hovhannisian said. "We have been organizing such
    programs and discussions after death of Gevorg Jahukian, a linguist."

    Professor Gevorg Jahukian is a well-known Armenia's linguist, scholar
    and academician; Gevorg Jahukian authored 100 works, mostly related
    to the comparative linguistics, study of the Armenian, Urartian and
    Huyasian languages.

    Professor Gevorg Jahukian (Dzhahukyan, Dzhahukian) was born on April
    1 1920 in Shakhnazar village (renamed into Metsavan Village of Lori
    region of Armenia). He graduated from the Yerevan State University in
    1941, where his career started from the Senior lecture in 1945-49s,
    then continued at a post of the Associate Professor in 1949-58s.

    During these years he led the Department for the Foreign Languages.
