    Free Forum - Genocide Studies: Who Needs it?

    WATERTOWN, MA -- February 22, 2005 -- `Genocide Studies: Who needsit?'
    is the topic of this year's first Free Forum event initiated by
    Hamazkayin-Boston. This public program (open and free to the public),
    willtake place at 7:00 PM on Thursday, March 10, 2005 at the Nishan
    and Margrit Atinizian Hall of the Holy Cross Armenian Catholic Church
    [200 Lexington Street, Belmont, MA].

    Mr. George Shirinian, Director of Zoryan Institute from Toronto,
    Canada has been invited to speak about the Zoryan Institute as a case
    in point for Genocide Studies. Following Mr. Shirinian's brief
    presentation themoderator, Ara Nazarian, chairman of
    Hamazkayin-Boston, will invite the attendees to joinin the discussion
    with their views and ideas.

    Designed to highlight varying points of view concerning the resolution
    of issues important to the Boston Armenian community, Free Forum (Azad
    Bem in Armenian) will offer at least two more programs during
    2005. The planned topics include:

    § The state of Armenian education in the community at the threshold
    of the 1600th anniversary of the creation of the Armenian alphabet

    § The Armenian Church: Past present and where it is headed A summary
    of the discussions and opinions expressed during all Forums will be
    available at our website http://www.hamazkayin-boston.org/

    It is anticipated that the March 10, 2005 program titled `Genocide
    Studies: Who needs it?' will attract many students and young
    professionals.

    Hamazkayin-Boston hopes the Forum will respond to critical questions
    such as: how would the youth and young professionals carry forward the
    cause for Genocide recognition, what are the long term goals of the
    field and its vision/outlook for the day after Turkey's
    acknowledgement of the Armenian Genocide.
