An Iranian Literature Corner has been opened in the general reading hall of the National Library of Armenia. The Embassy of the Islamic Republic of Iran has donated 293 items of literature to the National Library of Armenia, including dictionaries, collections of scholarly works, educational manuals, religious literature, poetry collections, contemporary fiction, and other publications.
The donated literature has expanded the National Library of Armenia's collection of Iranian literature and contributed to broadening informational and scholarly resources for readers and researchers. Currently, 647 Iranian readers are registered at the National Library of Armenia, making use of the library's information services, reading halls, and book collections.
The National Library of Armenia holds a rich and diverse collection of Iranian literature, spanning books published from the 1780s to the present day. The collection includes original Persian-language texts, Armenian translations, and publications translated from Armenian into Persian, reflecting various stages of Armenian-Iranian literary and cultural interaction. Since 2022, the "Iranian Collection" thematic collection has been formed in the union catalog of Armenian libraries, allowing users to obtain the complete bibliographic list of Iranian literature held at the National Library of Armenia through a single search.
The collection currently includes 907 bibliographic records. As part of the opening of the Iranian Literature Corner, several rare editions from the National Library of Armenia's collection of early printed Iranian literature were also displayed, representing valuable examples of 18th–19th century Iranian and Iranian studies printing and forming part of the National Library of Armenia's rare and valuable holdings. The creation of the Iranian Literature Corner aims to promote Armenian-Iranian cultural and academic cooperation, ensure broader access to Iranian literature and culture, and contribute to the development of research on Iranian studies.
