PARLIAMENT WELCOMES CYBER LIBRARY

Ulaanbaatar /MONTSAME/ The Parliament Speakers of Mongolia and Turkey attended Tuesday an opening ceremony of a cyber library in the State House. In the project implemented by the Turkish International Cooperation and Development Agency (TIKA), the old library of the parliament office has been shifted into an electronic form. Under a funding of USD 692 thousand, the library has been decorated with up-to-date publishing and paper-work technologies (bookbinding, printing and cutting), lining up with complex equipment to transfer hard copies of documents into electronic form. Attending the opening ceremony, the parliament Speaker of Turkey Mr Cemil Cicek praised Mongolia’s high achievements in setting the democratic governance and respect for the law, human rights and freedom, and noted that reciprocal visits between the two countries are still unsatisfactory in view of the visa-waiver between Mongolia and Turkey, as Turkish Airlines, the only direct carrier between Mongolia and Turkey, carries up to 500 passengers in one flight, with three flights a week scheduled.
