YEREVAN, MAY 12, ARMENPRESS: A library of fairytales will be designed
in 2010 in Hovhannes Tumanyan Museum. Director of the museum Narine
Tukhikyan told Armenpress that for obtaining books for the fairytale
library negotiations are already running with all the embassies. And
they have already managed to receive many books of fairytales from
Ireland and Syria. "This library must become a gathering place for
all the fairytale writers, heroes and lovers of fairytales throughout
the world," N. Tukhikyan said adding that a fairytale museum is also
intended to open inside the library.
N. Tukhikyan expressed wish to concentrate in the museum and
coordinate the works of the researchers and scientists engaged in
fairytale studies in Armenia, and to come out to the international
area becoming a partner to the world structures engaged in this sphere.
"We are obliged to organize annual scientific conferences, workshops,
exhibitions, festivals of fairytale, contests of illuminations, as
well as to study the children’s books from Tumanyan personal library,
in some cases to republish them and translate," N. Tukhikyan said
adding that the museum is also obliged to publish a magazine about
fairytale studies. "It will be an unprecedented initiative from the
inter-cultural viewpoint," N. Tukhikyan said.
