“Emerging and nurturing children’s imagination is one of the major elements of child education,” explained Gakavig Managing Editor, Juliette Davitian.
“Stories, traditional fairy tales or more contemporary children’s literatures, can bring a magical experience, joy, surprise, enchantment even horror to the innocent and gentle soul of a child,” she added.
Davitian says among the publication’s primary objectives is to present today’s children with the “magnificence and uniqueness of the jewels of Armenian traditional literature. It is important, she added, for Gakavig to be part of the education of contemporary Armenian children.
