Chisinau, 1 September /MOLDPRES/- The 7th edition of the World Congress of Eminescologists began today at the Academy of Sciences of Moldova. The event will take place until 2 September.

The Congress is attended by eminescologists and translators from ten countries: Moldova, Albania, Austria, Bulgaria, France, Italy, Romania, USA, Turkey and Ukraine.

For his part, writer Nicolae Dabija said that about Eminescu should talk a lot. "It is significant that this congress takes place in Chisinau. Through Eminescu, we discovered the Romanian literary language,” he said.

The head of the Academy of Sciences of Moldova, Gheorghe Duca, stressed that Eminescu's work must penetrate into the heart and soul of every human being, because it is both national and universal. He thanked the academician Mihai Cimpoi for organizing this congress, the day after the National Day "Our Romanian Language.”

In this context, academician Eugen Simion said that Romanian is the first symbol of our national identity.

The World Congress of Eminescologists will conclude tomorrow at the Eminescu International Academic Center, where communication sessions and book launches will take place.
