“Some 74% of respondents noted that they prefer to read books in paper version, and only 26% – in electronic version,” the Union said.

The list, selected by the heads of Armenian banks, includes both professional and fiction literature.

Book Donation Day has been celebrated in Armenia since 2008. The date – February 19 – was not chosen by chance. On this day in 1869, Hovhannes Tumanyan, a famous Armenian writer, poet and public figure, was born.
