The collection of fairy tales by Hovhannes Tumanyan has been published in Estonian. Armenia’s outgoing Ambassador to Estonian Tigran Mkrtchyan presented the book during his farewell meeting with representatives of the local Armenian community.

The book has been published as part of celebrations dedicated to Tumanyan’s 150th birth anniversary.
