VALUABLE LIBRARY OF MELKONIAN SEMINARY TO MOVE TEMPORARILY TO CYPRUS

- ARMENIANS TODAY. The rich library of Melkonian Seminary (Cyprus) which has about 25 thousand books, as well as collections of the 20th century Diasporan Armenian periodical press, books published in the 19th century, will be moved into the library of Cyprus University and be open to the public. According to "Marmara", Vartkes Mahdessian, deputy of Armenian descent of the parliament of Greek Cyprus, reached such an agreement with the management of Cyprus University. V. Mahdessian sent a letter to Berch Sedrakian, Chairman of the Armenian General Benevolent Union (AGBU), informing him that the university heads promised to keep the library with care and will be prepared to return it to Armenians when requested. The deputy urged the AGBU Chairman to take care of this valuable library.
