On the occasion of the Book Donation Day, Armenian Prime Minister
Hovik Abrahamyan today gifted the cabinet members the novel Mandilion
by famous politician Vahan Hovhannisyan, who died recently.

“For several years already, Armenia marks Book Donation Day on the
same day as the birthday of great Armenian writer and poet Hovhannes
Tumanyan. On this occasion, I have gifted you the novel by Vahan
Hovhannisyan. It is very important that on the eve of the 100th
anniversary of the Armenian Genocide you find time and read this book,”
said the Prime Minister.

The Book Donation Day has been marked in Armenia since 2008 on the
initiative of the Armenian government and President of Armenian
Writers’ Union Levon Ananyan.

“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
