    DR. DER-YEGHIAYAN'S RECENTLY-PUBLISHED BOOK ON HISTORIC ARMENIA WILL
    BE PRESENTED BY PROF. DEKMEJIAN ON APRIL 6TH


    Dr. Garbis Der-Yeghiayan's recently-published book (Eastgate Institute
    Press, 2008) "The Presence of the Past - Embracing the Land of our
    Ancestors" will be presented by Dr. R. Hrair Dekmejian, distinguished
    Professor of Political Science and Director of the Institue of
    Armenian Studies at the University of Southern California, on Sunday,
    April 6, 2008 at 6:00 P.M. at the Glendale Armenian Church of the
    Nazarene, 411 E. Acacia Avenue, Glendale, California.The event will be
    emceed by Mr. Vatche Mankerian, Project Manager at the USC Institute
    of Armenian Studies, and an internationally-renowned pianist andauthor
    of several textbooks on Armenian culture.

    Logistically, the book is a synopsis of diaries written by the author
    as heventures through several cities in Cilicia, Cappadocia and
    Western Armenia.Although the book gives practical instruction and
    interesting descriptions of the cities for someone planning to visit
    them, this fascinating publication is not a mere touristic guide. It
    is rather a chronicle of recent pilgrimages of an Armenian scholar
    from the Diaspora (California to be exact); visiting the ancestral
    lands of his forefathers - remnants miraculously surviving the
    Armenian Genocide perpetrated by the Turks.

    Roxanne Makasdjian, a well-known community activist in California and
    a member of the 2006 pilgrimage organized by Mashdots College, wrote
    the book's introduction.

    The event is open to the public. For further information, please
    contact Mashdots College at (818) 548-9345.
