Yerevan/Mediamax/. Lord Robin Byron, direct descendant of great poet George Gordon Byron, will arrive in Armenia today to take part in “Yerevan-World Book Capital 2012” events.
Invitation of Lord Robin Byron to Yerevan is initiated by Mediamax.
“A friend of ours, Anna Mkhitaryan, who works in London got acquainted with Lord Byron and told me once that he wants to visit Armenia taking into account the relations of the poet with Armenians, and the fact that there is a Byron school in Gyumri. When the preparation for “Yerevan - World Book Capital 2012” started I thought it may be a good reason for inviting Lord Byron to Armenia and presented the idea to the coordinator of the event, head of the Armenian President’s Staff Vigen Sargsyan. After that the Armenian Minister of Culture officially invited Lord Robin Byron to come to Armenia”, said Mediamax Director Ara Tadevosyan.
Lord Robin Byron is a lawyer. Since 1989, he has been holding the post of the head of Byron Society of London.
Apart from participating in “Yerevan- World Book Capital 2012” events, Lord Robin Byron will visit Byron school in Gyumri and will meet with students and lecturers of YSU.
