    Press Release

    "Voices of Armenian Women in the 21st Century"


    The year 2010 commenced with His Holiness Aram I, Catholicos of the Great
    House of Cilicia, proclaiming it as "The Year of the Armenian Woman."
    Calling attention to this occasion, His Holiness conveyed a well-rounded
    message about the value and significant role of Armenian women, as well as
    the ARS, within Armenian life.

    In an effort to highlight the important role of Armenian women, the ARS
    Regional Executive's Educational Committee has organized a public forum
    entitled "Voices of Armenian Women in the 21st Century," which will be held
    on Saturday, March 27, 2010 at 6:00 p.m. at the Glendale Central Library -
    222 E. Harvard St., Glendale, CA.

    The event will feature three well-known, accomplished intellectuals as the
    guest speakers, who have helped the advancement of the Armenian community
    with their knowledge and skills. The speakers and their respective topics
    follow:

    * Ungh. Sona Zeitlian - "The History of Armenian Women Prior to
    Genocide"

    * Dr. Roubina Peroomian - "The Suffering Continues: The Armenian Woman
    in Turkey after 1915 - The Survivor, The Victim"

    * Dr. Talar Chahinian - "Hyphenated Belonging, Compartmentalized
    Lives: Meditations of the Contemporary Armenian Woman"

    Artwork by Armenian women will also be on display at the event.

    We invite the Armenian community to be present at this interesting public
    forum and artwork display as a way to be better familiarized, as well as
    take pride in, the important role of the Armenian woman in our lives.

    Additional information regarding the event can be obtained by calling the
    ARS Regional Headquarters at (818) 500-1343, e-mailing
    [email protected], or visiting the ARS website at www.arswestusa.org
    <http://www.arswestusa.org/& gt; .

    This seminar will be presented bilingually. Admission is free and a
    reception will follow the lectures.
