YSU Publishing House Director Perch Stepanyan assured that rather indifferent attitude has always been towards the works of foreign authors about the Armenian Genocide.

And according to the architect Mary Sukiasyan, who is the translator of the books Armenian Testament and Family Tree, written by Spanish author Gonzalo Guarch, the publishing of such books is very important, because there are still many countries that are not aware of what happened beginning with the late the 19th century up to the first quarter of 20th century.

Mary Sukiasyan states that Guarch has devoted his whole life to inter-ethnic wars and when he learnt of the sufferings of the Armenian people, he wrote these books. Armenian Testament is the second book of the trilogy, devoted by Gonzalo Guarch to the Armenian Genocide. The first, Family Tree, has also been translated into Armenian, and the third, White Mountain, has not yet been translated.

YSU Rector Aram Simonyan expressed his satisfaction that the love towards books is in its renaissance, and Yerevan State University Publishing House publishes books about black and white pages of our history with an amazing determination. The books presented here are invaluable for their patriotic aspiration and, indeed, the staff of YSU Publishing House deserves appraisal, as they correctly perceive the breath of time, the demand to publish new books at YSU, - said Aram Simonyan.

YSU Rector expressed his gratitude to all those who support the publication of books, in particular Kyulpenkyan Foundation, as well as individual benefactors.

In 2010 28 million AMD were allocated by Yerevan State University for publishing activities. According to the Director of Publishing House, more than 200 Armenological books have been published, which are valuable works for the specialists, occupied in the area of the Armenian studies.
