FOR THE FIRST TIME AN ARMENIAN PAVILION AT THE LONDON BOOK FAIR.
The London Book Fair is opening its doors on 15 April, 2013 in Earl's
Court, London.
The Pavilion will provide a valuable platform, which has never been
made available in this format before for the exhibitors and visitors
from around the world, allowing them to network with global publishing
communities. The Armenian Community and Church Council of Great
Britain (www.accc.org.uk), with the support of the Armenian Embassy
in London and the Ministry of Culture in Armenia, has facilitated
the participation of the Armenian authors and publishers from Armenia
and the Diaspora at the London Book Fair event.
The London Book Fair is one of the world's most prestigious events
and as such it is an excellent opportunity for Armenian authors and
publishers to showcase the Armenian culture and heritage through
books and writings, which form part of a long standing tradition
and culture. Last year Armenia was celebrating the 500th anniversary
of the Armenian Printing, since the first Armenian publisher Hagop
Meghapart established his printing house in Venice (1512), producing
the first printed book "Urbatagirk" in Armenian language. Armenia's
participation in the London Book Fair is a natural continuation of
that celebration and will mark another milestone in the advancement
of Armenian literary world, establishing a long term collaboration
and cooperation with the outer world.
The Armenian Pavilion will host Armenian publishers and authors from
Armenia, United Kingdom, Lebanon and the United States of America.

Rouben Galichian in his "Clashes of Histories in the South Caucasus".
The key visitors will include literary agents, publishers, booksellers,
library and information professionals, production, distribution,
technical and creative professionals. The event will also hold
educational seminars, conferences and workshops for the attendees. The
