YEREVAN, JANUARY 27, ARMENPRESS: On the occasion of the 500th
anniversary of Armenian book-printing the National Library of
Armenia intends to conduct a scientific conference in spring. Deputy
Director of the National Library Rafik Ghazaryan told Armenpress
that the participants of the scientific conference will refer to
the Armenian colonies, where an activity of Armenian book-printing
has been extended. The details of the conference are currently under
specification.
Mr. Ghazaryan noted that some preliminary works will be carried
out this year related to the events on the 500th anniversary of the
Armenian book-printing. The repair works of Tamanyan sub-building of
the National Library are intended to finish in the running year. An
Armenian Book Museum will be set up in the structure of the National
Library, which will be placed at Tamanyan sub-building. "Today we do
not manage to present the rich history of printing, because we do not
have that opportunity. The geography of the Armenian book-printing
is very large, and there are large-scale materials connected with it.
The museum will be a unique event in the cultural life of our
republic. It is an issue of great importance to present the 500-year
path of book-printing through such a museum," Mr. Ghazaryan said.
According to him, Armenian book-printing has quite a rich history;
it must be comprehensively presented not only to Armenians but to
foreign representatives as well. Rafik Ghazaryan noted that the
museum will be of great significance from the viewpoint of tourism
as well. After finishing the repair in Tamanyan sub-building, several
departments of the library will be moved here.
