Armenia cannot exist without reading society, said Armenian President
Serzh Sargsyan in the 25th International Book and Press Fair in
Switzerland.
On Monday President Sargsyan left on official visit to the Swiss
Confederation. In the framework of the visit, the President of Armenia
visited the Armenian pavilion at the International Book and Press Fair.
“The profound respect and esteem we have for a book have deep roots.
The masterpieces of Armenian literature were created almost
simultaneously with the translation of Bible that was the first book
written in Armenian [in the fifth century]. The feat of Armenian
nation in the fifth century laid foundation for overall development of
Armenian nation with all ups and downs,” stressed President Sargsyan.
Armenian president familiarized himself with the books published by
the publishing houses of Armenia and Armenian Diaspora.
