A scientific conference titled “Modern issues of language policy”
took place in Yerevan today. The event organized jointly by the
Armenian Ministry of Diaspora and the Institute of Linguistics after
Hrachya Acharyan brought together prominent linguists from Armenia,
Artsakh and Diaspora.

Overcoming all obstacles throughout the 1,600-year-long history,
the Armenian language survived into today, but was torn into parts
like the Armenian nation. On this path the Eastern Armenian found
its shelter, while the Western Armenian was preserved only thanks to
world-spread devotees.

However, linguists face a number of problems both in Armenia and
Diaspora. These issues were in the spotlight of the conference held
within the framework of the events dedicated to the Mother Language
Day.

“Eastern Armenian and Western Armenian are the two invaluable treasures
of our language, which should develop and flourish proportionally,”
said Avik Isahakyan, Director of the Institute of Literature.
