    According to the Press Service of ARFD, the official ceremony of
    opening the Library after Hrayr Maroukhian took place at the ARFD
    Bureau's "Christapor Mikaelian" Center, recently. The representatives
    of the party's bureau, the party branches from Armenia and Artsakh,
    ARFD members of RA National Assembly and state officials were present
    at the library's opening ceremony.

    The library functioned from this March based on the amount of books
    allocated to the library from Athens.

    Later, the library received more books from the office in Lebanon. The
    Library also inherited the large private book collections of
    Ed. Hovhannisian and Art. Tsatourian.

    "In the course of the last month the library was enriched by the
    exclusive private book collection of Maroukhian, that includes many
    valuable books of social, political, philosophical, critical, legal,
    national and cultural importance, as well as over 3000 books in
    Armenian and English. At present, over 5000 books are registered at
    the library. Comrade Hrayr had both high political and organizational
    skills and rich worldview in the issues of political, public and
    ideological importance. He loved books and he was a good reader. His
    private library was the mirror of his personality. A large part of
    his library included the works by the Russian classic writers and
    those of the modern European Literature," Albert Atchemian, member
    of the ARFD Bureau stated.

    The wife and the younger daughter of Maroukhian were also present at
    the opening ceremony of the library.
