Slide Show: Historic Armenia (Watertown, Mass.)

NOV. 11, 2009 * SLIDE SHOW: ‘HISTORIC ARMENIA.’ The Armenian Library and Museum of America (ALMA) will feature “A Journey to Historic Armenia: There is Something There!,” a slide presentation by Edward and Mary Ann Kazanjian. The Kazanjians ventured on a 3,000-mile journey through more than 30 cities and villages in historic Armenia this past June. Their presentation will feature photographs and first-hand accounts from their travels. Guests will learn about the Kazandjians’ experiences at Armenian and non-Armenian sites in Istanbul, Mary Ann’s discovery of her great-great-grandfather’s home in Yozgat, and how they came to understand what Peter Goolkasian wrote about in his famous memoir My Life. Begins at 7 p.m. in the museum’s Contemporary Art Gallery (3rd floor), 65 Main St. in Watertown. The event is free and open to the public. For more information, visit www.almainc.org.

The Armenian Weekly

Since 1899, Armenian Weekly's Armenian-language predecessor, the Hairenik, has reported, analyzed, and commented on the historic events of modern Armenian history, often in their staggering proportion, making it the longest-running Armenian-language newspaper in the world. As the first waves of American-born, English-speaking generations grew older, the need for a more mature publication in English was eventually filled by the Armenian Weekly. Today, along with news of general interest to the Armenian-American community, our newspaper publishes editorials, political analyses, a rich array of opinion pieces and columns, as well as literary criticism and reviews. While providing a platform for the Armenian Revolutionary Federation and the Armenian National Committee of America, the newspaper also functions as a space where a wide variety of views and opinions can be discussed openly and honestly.
