Armenia will participate in the Frankfurt International Book Exhibition

With the support of the RA Ministry of Education, Science, Culture and Sports, Armenia will participate in the Frankfurt International Book Exhibition on October 19-23, 2022 with a separate pavilion. This year, the Armenian pavilion is dedicated to the 125th anniversary of the birth of Yeghishe Charents. The Ministry of Education and Culture informs that the exhibition will present foreign-language Armenian literature published in Armenia and abroad in recent years, as well as a number of cooperative programs. The purpose of having a national pavilion at the Frankfurt International Book Fair is that literary agents and publishers can hold their meetings at the Armenian pavilion, present their publications, writers, and buy and sell property rights of works. At the Armenian pavilion in Frankfurt, as well as representatives of other national pavilions and foreign publishing houses, the "Armenian literature in translations" grant program will be presented, with which the ministry supports publishing houses abroad that want to publish Armenian classical and modern literature in a foreign language in their country. The goal of the project is to make Armenian literature known outside the borders of our country. It also contributes to increasing the level of recognition of our culture and country. With the support of the "Armenian Literature in Translation" grant program, 67 books in more than 20 languages ​​have been published (and are in progress) abroad in the last 4 years. The goals of Armenia's participation in the Frankfurt International Book Fair are: international cooperation in the field of book distribution, popularization of Armenian literature abroad, development of all aspects of the literary field, preservation, development and dissemination of literary cultural heritage through literary products, creation of conditions for the reproduction and development of the creative potential of society.
