UNESCO declared Yerevan a capital of the book for next year. However,
books are hardly in demand in Armenia now, the MP of the Prosperous
Armenia Party (PAP), Chairwoman of the Committee for European
Integration Naira Zohrabyan stated in Parliament.
"I do not want speak of the bookshops turned into cafes or
greengroceries. I would like to address a specific problem, the Book
Palace of Armenia. I recently happened to be there. I can tell you
that the Book Palace of Armenia looks even worse than Dresden after
bombings during World War II. It is not strange that a large part
of the documents was spoiled," Zohrabyan said. She called on the RA
Government to budget funds for renovation works at the Book Palace
for next year. "Otherwise I promise you I personally will take guests
visiting Armenia to the Book Palace," Zohrabyan said.
