"History of Armenia's Neighbors" book to be published till yearend
On the initiative of the Institute of Oriental Studies at the RA National Academy of Sciences (NAC) the four-volumed book "History of Neighboring Countries of Armenia" will be ready to be published by 2009, Ruben Safrastyan, Professor, Director of the Institute of Oriental Studies at the RA National Academy of Sciences reported to PanARMENIAN.Net. The initiative is financed by the RA Government, and the work on the book has been conducted since 2007.

"I would like to mention that there has been no such book written in Armenia. "History of Neighboring Countries of Armenia" depicts the history of Georgia, Iran, Russia, Turkey, and the Arab world from the earliest times up to the present day. The book lays special emphasis on the role the Armenian community had in the development process of these countries," Safrastyan mentioned.
