On April 21 a well-known Armenian translator and publicist Armen Hovhannisian was awarded a Friendship Order at the Embassy of Russian Federation in the Republic of Armenia. This award was conferred on Armen Hovhannisian by a decree of the Russian President for the valuable contribution in the development of the cultural cooperation between the two counties. The literary “archive” of Armen Hovhannisian contains translations of works by Dostoevsky, Bulgakov, Shukshin, Solzhenitsyn and other classics of Russian literature into Armenian.
Yerevan Press Club sincerely congratulates Armen Hovhannisian on the award, hopes that his gifts to the Armenian reader will continue and adds a tiny bit of pride – the wonderful translator and talented publicist is a member of our organization.
