NORTH ANDOVER, Mass.-A travelogue featuring striking scenes of Armenia,
Moscow, and Dubai will be shown to a luncheon gathering at noon on
Thurs., June 7, at St. Gregory Armenian Church, on 158 Main St. in
North Andover.
Ara and Milka Jeknavorian of Chelmsford pose outside the ancient
pagan Garni Temple in Armenia.
Speakers will be Dr. Ara and Milka Jeknavorian of Chelmsford, who
reconnected with their roots after 38 years.
The travelogue represents the three-week visit to those regions late
last fall, combining business with pleasure for the Jeknavorians,
who are well known in Merrimack Valley Armenian circles.
"Though the timing was clearly off-season for touring Armenia, we were
able to catch many key sights such as Khor Virap and Noravank, which we
had missed during our month-long stay in 1973," the Jeknavorians said.
"Without question, the past 38 years has brought many changes to
Armenia, especially Yerevan, which has become a modern metropolitan
city. Walking along the wide city boulevards and hearing our beautiful
language spoken is perhaps the single most unique experience for
any Armenian."
While in Etchmiadzin, the Jeknavorians got to witness the ordination
of four priests and connect with cousins they hadn't seen in nearly
four decades, along with other personal highlights meant to be shared.
