Armenian university establishes House of Rumi


Armenia's Acharian University has established a new research center called the House of Rumi to highlight the Persian poet's life philosophy and literary career. The center is founded in association with Iran's cultural attaché to Yerevan. Reza Otufi said that his office plans future cultural programs in Armenia including a Rumi conference, a poetry night and publication of several books about the Persian transcendental poet. Otufi also said that several Iranian feature films will screen at Armenian film festivals later this year, including a retrospective to highlight Iran's female filmmakers
