    ONE OF CAIRO STREETS TO BE NAMED AFTER SARUKHAN


    CAIRO, DECEMBER 29, NOYAN TAPAN - ARMENIANS TODAY. By the decree of
    the Cairo mayor, one of the city's streets will be named after
    Alexander Sarukhan - the famous Armenian satirical painter - in
    recognition of his contribution to the Egyptian satirical painting
    art, the newspaper "Marmara" reported, citing the national literary
    weekly "Torch-Bearer" (Cairo). Sarukhan was much respected in the Arab
    information circles and worked for many years in such Arab papers as
    "Roch el Yusuf", "Akher Saa" and "Akhpar Yeliom", creating the image
    of El Masri Efendi (Egyptian). In 1973 he participated in an
    international exhibition in Montreal where he was awarded the title
    "Patriarch of Satirical Painters". His exhibitions were held in
    Beirut, Aleppo, Toronto, New York, Boston, Detroit, Paris and other
    cities. He is the author of a number of works, of which "This War",
    "We through Our Eyeglasses" and "We Don't Know Armenian" are
    noteworthy. A. Sarukhan illustrated the novels "Comrade Panjuni" by
    Yervand Otian and "Respectful Beggars" by Hakob Paronian.
