To Armenpress reporter question, what will be priorities for
coming 2013 year Minister was quoted as saying.” The necessity to
put into practice the law on libraries should be the main priority
of coming year. This is a law of great importance that will enable

around a net and receive state assistance. The next priority refers
to cultural education and aesthetic educational national projects,
adopted recently”.
