The lack of diversity in translated literature results in lack of cultural exchange, hence the EU-supported 'Reflections on Crisis in Contemporary European Literature' project aims at bringing diverse literary voices to the Armenian book market.

Within the framework of the project 6 books by European writers will be translated into Armenian and 1 book by an Armenian writer into French and German.

The selected books from Bulgaria, Germany, Greece, Italy, Spain and Sweden depict different kinds of crises we all confront, being it age, social, economic, political or war related, or regarding one-person's tragedy, its negative and challenging sides, difficulties.

The books were selected carefully and scrupulously. The aim was to translate literary works which reflect the real picture with those who are most vulnerable in the world's most difficult circumstances and in the situations of the extreme and critical need - refugees, the elderly, those involved in ethnic, territorial and political conflicts.The major outcome of the project is to provide cultural and linguistic diversity, through bringing the voices which raise not only the most spoken but also the silenced issues of our days and to introduce them to the Armenian and European readers.
