BIG SHAME

18:56 – 17.10.2011
2012 is announced the international book day. One can use all the
fingers to count the book stores that are available in Yerevan.
Who was ever worried about the fact that bookstores are closing?
Neither the minister of Culture and nor the ministry of education of
science cares about it.
But God forbid the fate of books becomes similar with the one of our
education and culture has today.
Although people know that there’s no such thing as a book business,
they still open book stores and close them for that very reason.
I wonder what the ministers of Education and science and of Culture
think when they see people selling books in the streets? Or maybe
they are too busy to notice it? Who knows?
I wonder how they presented Armenia to UNESCO and from which point
of view are they going to call us residents of the book capital of
the world?
Nowadays, literary figures do their best to return the tradition of
reading back to our life.
Dear ministers, be careful counting the closing book stores to not
miss one.
