YEREVAN, OCTOBER 30, ARMENPRESS: The presentation ceremony and the opening of an exhibition displaying some 160 books, donated by the American Institution of Armenian Culture to the National Libraray, was held today in Yerevan.

The head of the Library David Sarkisian said that some 160 books, 154 of them in English, 1 in French and the rest in Armenian, were bought at the US National Association of Armenian Studies and Researches book shop and consigned to the library.

The majority of the books were published since 1900 and mainly refer to the history of Armenia, the Armenian Genocide, Karabakh conflict, relations between Armenia and regional countries, Armenian language and art.

The books were bought by the money, donated by an American-Armenian benefactor Alice Ohanasian to enrich the literature in the National Library. This year the library received more than 1,700 books from private benefactors from USA, Iran, France, Brazil, as well as from the US Congress.
