Yerevan/Mediamax/. Head of Yerevan State University (YSU) Aram Simonyan and Ambassador of India to Armenia Achal Malkhotra signed a memorandum today on launching a center for Indian Studies in YSU.

Aram Simonyan said that a professor from India will deliver lectures to the students of YSU Department of Oriental Studies, and Hindi courses will be meant for all the interested people, Mediamax reports.

The YSU Head noted that the Armenian- Indian high-tech center will be opened in the university in autumn and due to financing from Indian side, equipment at a total cost of USD1mln will be installed there.
