    'Our nation loves books but we have to educate love for reading in
    the society under today's conditions," Grigor Hovanisyan, chairman
    of the organizational committee of the book festival and the deputy
    director of "De Facto" journal, told the reporter of Panorama.am. In
    his words, the festival will serve its aim, that is, to raise the
    role of books. "This festival will become a tradition. It will be
    continuous," he added.

    On October 13-14, Book Festival-2007 will be held at the Republic of
    Freedom. The boutiques that will be put along the square will be free
    of charge for the participants. Publishing houses, printing houses,
    book shops and authors will take part in the festival. Each of the
    participants should submit books published before October 1, 2007.

    "The Ararat Diocese of the Armenian Apostolic Church that is a
    co-organizer of the festival will present spiritual literature. We aim
    to disseminate spiritual literature among people," Eliza Manukyan,
    press service responsible person of the diocese, said. In her
    words, they are going to present 16 books which are both popular
    and scientific.

    The festival is held at the initiative of the Republican Party and "De
    Facto" public and political journal. The revenues from the festival
    will be used to open a bookshop-library in Stepanakert. The day of
    the festival is not accidental. Today the Armenian Apostolic Church
    celebrates the Day of Translators.
