Armenians have to read and speak Russian?
A Russian bookstore will open during a solemn ceremony in Artashat on January 17, reports the press service of the Youth Center in CIS countries from Moscow.
The Russian bookstore is a 330 square meter, two-story building. Its prototype is the Russian bookstore that opened in central Yerevan on October 7, 2011.
Moscow reports that Russian bookstores are being built in Gyumri, Armavir, Etchmiadzin, Ashtarak and Vanadzor at a rapid pace. An Armenian bookstore is under construction in Moscow and will open soon.
President of the Council of the Youth Association in the CIS countries Andranik Nikoghosyan reports that the Russian bookstores in Armenia's bookstores will link the Armenian and Russian fraternal nations.
"Armenia is the only country in the post-Soviet region where two Russian bookstores have opened and another five will open. The Russian bookstore in Yerevan is known among the youth and proves that Russian language is in demand in Armenia," Andranik Nikoghosyan said.
