    YEREVAN (YERKIR) - A library named after Armenian Revolutionary
    Federation figure Hrayr Marukhian was inaugurated on October 30 at
    the ARF Bureau office in Yerevan.

    The ceremony was attended by members of the ARF Bureau, ARF chapters
    from Armenia, Artsakh and other countries.

    ARF Bureau representative Hrant Margarian and Hrayr Marukhian's widow
    Anahit inaugurated the new library.

    In his remarks, ARF Bureau member Albert Achemian said that Marukhian
    was both a skilful political figure and intellectual. "He was a great
    fan of books and a great reader," Achemian said.

    Achemian also said that ARF Bureau has decided to bring a copy of the
    ARF archives to Armenia using modern technology as well as bring the
    items kept at the ARF's Paris museum to Armenia.

    The newly established library began to operate in March on the basis
    of the books brought to Armenia from Athens. Later, books were also
    brought from the ARF office in Lebanon, making the library complete.

    Currently, the library contains full collection of many ARF
    publications, including the Droshak copies published between 1890
    and 1904.

    The library has about 5,000 books currently.

    ARF Bureau representative Hrant Margarian said that the library would
    be very useful not only for the ARF members but also for all those
    who may use the books of the library for their studies.

    Shaghik Marukhian, Hrayr Marukhian's daughter, said that the library
    would be helpful especially for the young people who are engaged in
    political and social sciences.

    "As for the emotional value of the library, I have to say that the
    party was the first family of my father, and it is natural that all
    his books have been returned to the party," Marukhian said.
