Bakunts’ wonderful world is now available to the Macedonian reader. With the support of the Ministry of Education, Science, Culture and Sports of Armenia and the participation of the National Library of Armenia, Bakunts’ brilliant stories were translated and published in Macedonian within the framework of the grant program “Armenian Literature in Translation”. In addition to the story of the same name, the collection Alpine Violet presented the Macedonians with works such as Mtnadzor, Lar-Margar, Andzrev, The Humble Girl, Mirhav, The White Horse, Köres, Khachatur Abovyan, and others.

The National Library of Armenia celebrated the 125th anniversary of Aksel Bakunts with a reading marathon. These works and other books by the writer were read throughout the country.
