    IRAN DONATES 600 BOOKS TO YEREVAN STATE UNIVERSITY

    TEHRAN -- A package comprising 600 books was donated by the Iranian
    Embassy in Armenia to the central library of Yerevan State University
    (YSU) during a ceremony last week, the Islamic Culture and Relations
    Organization announced on Sunday.

    The package comprised source books on Persian literature and Iranology
    and included 30 books translated into Armenian by the Iranian cultural
    attache's office in Yerevan.

    "These books are rare and thus difficult to procure, so they are very
    valuable to us," YSU's Iranian Studies Department director Garnik
    Asatryan said during the ceremony.

    He described the package as very helpful for the development of
    studies in the field of Iranian culture.

    According to Iranian cultural attache Reza Atufi, YSU's officials have
    agreed to establish a special section for books on Iranian studies
    at their central library and Iran is willing to collaborate with the
    YSU on this project.

    "Students regularly requested that we supply them with books on
    Persian literature, but we could not provide any reliable sources
    due to the fact that our library lacked books on this subject,"
    library director Ashot Alexanyan said.

    "From now on, as a result of this donation of works we will be able
    to provide our students with resources," he noted.
