Dr. Claude Armen Mutafian was born in 1942 to a family that escaped the Armenian Genocide. He is a mathematics professor and Doctor of Historical Sciences. He is a Member of the National Academy of Science of Armenia and has also taught mathematics at universities in France and other countries. His travels to modern-day Turkey and Armenia since 1980 have led him to discover many hidden aspects of history, especially of the medieval Middle East and particularly of Cilician Armenia. He is an author of several publications on this topic. During his lecture he presented the results of his study, which emphasizes the role of Armenians in Eastern European regions including Moldavia, Walachia, and Transylvania.
