ANTELIAS TO HOST CONFERENCE AND EXHIBITION
ON THE ADANA MASSACRES
On the occasion of the 100th anniversary of the massacres of Adana
(1909-2009), His Holiness Aram I said: "this sad page in the contemporary
history of the Armenian nation should be remembered with due importance and
seriousness." He then continued, "in 2009, the Catholicosate of Cilicia will
organize a conference, an exhibition, and will oversee the publication of
books and documents related to the Adana massacres.
Based on this decision, the Catholicosate informs the community
organizations, academic institutions, scholars and the general public of the
following plans:

dedicated to the Adana massacres under the leadership of His Holiness Aram
I. All those interested in participating in the event should contact the
Catholicosate of Cilicia.
2) A Special Committee, in cooperation with The Department of Armenian
Studies of the Catholicosate of Cilicia, will screen and sponsor
publications related to the Adana massacres. The Catholicosate invites
researchers, scholars, writers and all those who possess relevant works are

3) We invite all Armenians in the community who own valuable
