    YP Brazil's "Armenia" Book Launch Attracts 200

    On October 13, 2008, AGBU Young Professionals of Brazil, in
    conjunction with the Consulate General of the Republic of Armenia in
    São Paulo and others sponsors, hosted the launch of "Armenia," a photo
    book by 29-year-old architect and photographer Stepan Norair
    Chahinian. The event took place at Boteco Ferraz, a popular city bar,
    and welcomed over 200 participants of all ages.

    The idea for the book began four years ago while Stepan was living in
    Armenia. He took more than 2,000 photographs over 5 months and
    distilled his images into an attractive 144-page book. The final
    photography book is a mixture of landscapes, architecture and people,
    all with a documentary point of view.

    "I'm glad to have accomplished this. I feel I can help the diaspora
    and promote the Armenian culture and values through photography," says
    Chahinian, who is also YP Brazil committee member.

    "Armenia" will be available at the AGBU bookstore in New York and also
    can be ordered by emailing [email protected]. Part of the proceeds
    from the book sales will be donated to the All-Armenia Fund of
    Argentina.
