    May 30 2007

    YEREVAN, MAY 30, NOYAN TAPAN. The 22nd sitting of the Council for
    Cultural Coopration of CIS Countries took place in Minsk on May
    21. Ministers of culture - members of the Council, ambassadors of CIS
    countries and representtaives of the diplomatic corps participated
    in the sitting.

    According to the press service of the RA Ministry of Culture and Youth
    Issues, a number of cultural issues were discussed at the sitting,
    particularly, issues related to national legislations and conventions
    in the UNESCO cultural heritage preservation field, the necessity
    to create an association of musical higer educational institutions
    of CIS countries, the programs on implementation of the Agreement on
    Humanitarian Cooperation of CIS Member States, etc.

    The Republic of Armenia in the person of the RA Minister of Culture
    and Youth Issues Hasmik Poghosian presented the program and goal of
    the forum "Translation as Attractive Field for Interpenetration of
    Cultures" to be held in Yerevan on October 3-6 with the participation
    of CIS and Baltic countries. The traditional literary links among
    CIS countries have always been conducive to mutual understanding
    of their peoples. However, recently the mutual links and relations
    have weakened in all spheres, including literature. In order to
    overcome this situation, Armenia has proposed organizing the above
    mentioned forum, which will bring together publishers, translators,
    representatives of state bodies organizing the sphere of literature,
    as well as heads of universities preparing translators from CIS and
    Baltic states. The forum will proceed in parallel with Holiday of
    Translators held in Armenia every year.

    After the Minsk sitting, Hasmik Poghosian met in Moscow with the
    Head of the RF Culture and Cinema Agency M. Shvydkoy. During the
    meeting, the sides addressed various issues of Russian-Armenian
    cultural cooperation such as joint film production, mutual visits
    and cooperation of producers, participation of the Armenian side in
    Moscow film festivals, programs on training of experts in music and
    dramatic art, as well as provisions of the program of preparatory
    work on holding Cultural Days of Russia in Armenia in 2008.
