“Though this time the conference is not an international but a republican one, the number of participants and reports exceeds 50,” chairwoman of the NAS Oriental Studies Institute Young Specialists Council Sona Grigoryan said, noting that the positive tendency is the circumstance that from year to year not only the number of participants increases but the topics of reports are extended which shows that this specialization is not losing its contemporariness but opens new horizons for the young scientists.

“This conference proves that the oriental studies in Armenia not only maintain their positions but have opportunity to develop,” director of the Institute Ruben Safrastyan said. According to him, the best reports presented at the conference will be published in autumn.
