"With an exhibition of old and new publications, valuable documents, and translated editions, along with a public lecture, the National Library of Armenia is marking the 140th anniversary of the great writer and poet, refined aesthete, and remarkable essayist.

"In addition to publications from different years, the exhibition also features a portrait and a bust of Zaryan by Minas and Arto Chakmakchian, as well as documents related to the writer that are being displayed for the first time. For example, his birth certificate disproves the common belief that Zaryan was born on February 2. 'Today we wanted to make it clear that Kostan Zaryan’s birthday is on February 8…' said Anna Chulyan, Director of the National Library."
