World archives annual conference being conducted in the Spanish town
of Toledo October 22-29 will give an opportunity to the Armenia's
National Archives cooperate with the partners of other countries.
Director of Armenia's National Archives Amatuni Virabyan told
Armenpress that meetings with representatives of archives of different
countries are expected. According to him, a memorandum of cooperation
will be signed with Finland. "As far as Finland was part of Russia
till 1917 and the political prisoners, including Armenians, were
taken to their prisons, there is a possibility of existence of some
information about them," Virabyan said, adding that the agreement is
being signed stemming from this circumstance.
For the development of cooperation in the sphere of archive the
director of the archive is planning to negotiate with the head of
the archive service of Georgia. According to him, the initiative
existed last year but the Georgian side did not take any step and
the agreement was frozen.
In the row of cooperation Virabyan rated high the negotiations with
the secret archives of Venice.
Representatives of archives of about 170 countries are participating
in the annual conference. Armenia is participating in it since 2002.
