I AM PROUD THAT WE HAVE SUCH AN ARMY!

The National library of Armenia always provides military units with literature. This time was the turn of the Noyemberyan military unit of Tavush district. On bibliobus we visited the regiment. The soldiers met us with joy and with interest, and helped to take out of the bus 718 books, 200 of them were provided by director of the book-shop “Bookinist” Khachik Vardanyan.

The regiment’s librarian Maro Gulkanyan acquainted us with the work done. She said that the soldiers are interested in all sorts of literature, and asked if possible to help with encyclopedic literature. They expressed their will to have 12 volumes of the Armenian encyclopedia and compilation of Hovanes Toumanyan.

There are 2000 books in the library, posters on the walls, representing the glorious path of the Armenian Army, as well as portraits of the Armenian militarymen.

Wherever we went – medical center, cinema, gym – everywhere cleanliness and order prevailed. All military unit is surrounded by green. I served in the Soviet army, and frankly speaking was surprised and delighted by such conditions in our Armenian army.

We urge everyone – individuals, organizations and institutions – to support us, so the help of the National Library of Armenia will be more targeted and long. Our address is: Yerevan teryan 72.
