Dr. Richard Hovannisian will present his latest book "Armenian Communities of the Northeastern Mediterranean: Musa Dagh-Dort-Yol-Kessab" on Sunday, May 7, 2017 at 12:30 p.m. (immediately following the Divine Liturgy) at St. Gregory the Illuminator Armenian Church in Pasadena (2215 E. Colorado Blvd., Pasadena, CA 91107). Â Â
The Powerpoint presentation is based on the last three volumes of Professor Hovannisian's UCLA conference series "Historic Armenian Cities and Provinces." It focuses on lesser known but vibrant Armenian communities in Asia Minor, such as Ismid, Bardizag, Adabazar, Armash, and Bursa as far as Knoia; the Cappadocian region of Gesaria/Kayseri, Talas, Evkere, Tomarza, and Evereg-Fenese: and Northeastern Mediterranean coastal centers of Dort-yol, the Sanjak of Alexandretta, Musa Dagh, and Kessab, an area where the rugged and sturdy people repeatedly demonstrated their heroism.
Admission is free and a light reception will be provided. Book purchase and signing will be available following the program.Â
