PanARMENIAN.Net – A newly established children’s library in Sweden includes Armenian literature, according to information provided by the Ministry of Education, Science, Culture and Sport.

Books written by classic and contemporary Armenian writers are now part of Sweden’s largest collection of foreign language children’s books.

The project is being implemented in cooperation with the diplomatic missions of foreign countries accredited in Sweden, the Astrid Lindgren Foundation, the Sami community of Sweden, and the Swedish library network.

The Ministry of Education, Science, Culture and Sports of Armenia, through the mediation of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, has donated sixteen children’s books, including by national poet of Armenia Hovhannes Tumanyan.

Emil Lazarian: “I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
