    Armenian Authors Gather in Yerevan

    Armenian writers and poets from all around the world gather in
    Yerevan from 8-12 October.

    Tehran, 9 October 2005 (CHN) - The Biggest gathering of Armenian
    authors will be held in Yerevan from 8 to 12 October with the
    presence of 2 Iranian literary figures; Zoya Pirzad and Ahmad Nouri
    Zadeh.

    The gathering is dedicated to the writers and poets who write their
    works in languages other than Armenian.

    Among the invited literary figures for the event, Zoya Pirzad, an
    Iranian awarded female writer, is mentionable. Zoya Pirzad whose
    famous `I am the one who turns off the lights' has won several
    national literary awards, is one of the few Armenian writers in Iran
    who writes in Persian.

    `Since Leon Analian became responsible for the directorship of
    Armenian Writers Association, the association is more active.
    Organizing several literary conferences are among its achievements'
    said Varand, secretary general of the association.

    This 2nd edition of the conference of Armenian writers is dedicated
    to the review and study of Armenian writers who live outside the
    country. These kinds of literary events are aimed at creating greater
    kinship among Armenian literary figures from all over the world.

    Beside Zoya Pirzad, Ahmad Nouri Zadeh is another Iranian literary
    figure who will be present at the event. He will be awarded for his
    great translations of Armenian works into Persian.
