Young Armenian writers will sell their and their contemporaries'
books during an action to be held at Freedom Square on November 6.
"The goal of the event is to sell books. Mobile book sellers will go
from door to door and sell their books. As you know, there are very
few bookstores in Yerevan and nationwide, but even those few
bookstores lack customers. The print books aren't sold, but all
readers want people to have access to their books," creator of the
initiative, young writer Hambardzum Hambardzumyan told "A1+".
According to him, since readers don't buy books, books should be
accessible to the readers. Hambardzum has posted the following message
on social networks:
"Dear readers and writers, we invite you to work as a book seller.
Fifty percent of proceeds from book sales will go to the authors, 20
percent will be used for charity and 30 percent will go to the book
sellers."
With this action, Hambardzum Hambardzumyan wants to show that there is
a serious problem with book publication in Armenia.
There are already 1,575 people who have applied to the action and
another 50 users have mentioned that they might participate.
