    THE TRADITIONAL ANNUAL BOOK FAIR OPENS IN ANTELIAS

    "AS OF 2010 THE CHURCH WILL ORGANISE PAN-DIASPORA BOOK FAIR" ARAM I

    On Sunday November 1 2009, after the Holy Liturgy the clergy and laity
    walked in procession from the Cathedral Gregory the Illuminator to the big
    tent erected in the middle of the Courtyard of the monastery housing the
    Annual Book Fair. Annually, Armenian publishers, organizations, media,
    producers of DVDs and CDs all over from the Americas, Europe, the Middle
    East and other regions are invited to exhibit their books, documents, music
    and other cultural artefacts for a whole month. The Publishing House of the
    Catholicosate that publishes hundreds of volumes annually sponsors the Book
    Fair. This event is an occasion to sensitise the Armenian public on the
    spiritual, literary and cultural achievements of the Diaspora.

    In His opening speech His Holiness Aram I welcomed the participating
    organizations and thanked them for their work in sustaining Armenian
    language and culture in the Diaspora. He then showed the first print of the
    book that included essays by Armenian Students in the Diaspora who had won
    the Essay competition. His Holiness had announced the competition during the
    Book Fair in 2008. At the end of his speech Catholicos Aram I announced that
    as of 2010 all the communities in Diaspora would be invited to take part in
    Book Fairs.
