Egypt cancels Alexandria Library opening
AFP [ SUNDAY, APRIL 14, 2002 6:05:23 PM ]
AIRO: Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak on Sunday cancelled the grand opening
later this month of the New Alexandria Library, charging that Israel had spoiled the
party because of its military offensive.
Mubarak sent letters of apology to kings, princes, political leaders, intellectuals and
other eminent people who had been invited to the inauguration scheduled for April
23, Egypt's state- run Middle East News Agency (MENA) said.
The library's opening was to have been celebrated as a rebirth of the famed library
which burned to the ground 1,600 years ago, but its opening has been delayed until
"further notice", MENA said.
Mubarak expressed his "sorrow for what Israel did to the whole area and the world,
and for the shameful tragedies that shocked consciences all over the world and led
to an inappropriate atmosphere for the celebration," MENA said.
First Lady Suzanne Mubarak announced in May last year that the library's grand
opening would finally take place on April 23, after several delays needed to complete
the preparations and secure the first batch of 400,000 books.
The vast facility, which looks like a solar disc tilting toward the Mediterranean Sea,
will eventually house some 10 million volumes, the library's director Ismail
Serrageddine has said.
Serrageddine, the former vice president of the World Bank and noted intellectual,
said the facility cost around 200 million dollars.
