Staging of the Famous Fairytale "Panos the Untoward" at "Entanik"

In eighteen hundred and sixty-nine, What fruit did Armenian orchards bear? What harvest ripened in Armenian fields? It is hard to tell. Yet in that year, Mother Armenia's Womb became holily fertile, A child was born in Dsegh of Lori...

Starting February 19, the "Entanik" Youth Creative Center of the Ministry of Education and Science in Gyumri launched a series of festive events dedicated to the 146th birth anniversary of the All-Armenian Poet Hovhannes Toumanian and Book Giving Day.

The aim of the events was to awaken a love for books, connect with past values, and draw attention to contemporary literature and art.

Program Highlights:
