Los Angeles, CA - A program celebrating the life and legacy of famed
Armenian commander Monte Melkonian will be taking place on Friday,
December 7, 2012, on the occasion of what would have been his 55th
birthday. Monte, a California native, was an intellectual and a freedom
fighter who dedicated his life to the national-liberation struggle
of the Armenian nation. He played a key role in the liberation of
a part of Armenia - Artsakh - and was awarded the title of National
Hero of the Republic of Armenia.
The event will feature the premiere of a documentary film prepared
by Hayrenaser, which reflects on Monte's role in the liberation of
Artsakh and the significance of his liberated territories. Political
scientist and historian Dr. Armen Ayvazyan will present a comparative
analysis, drawing parallels between the rebellion of the 1720's in the
Artsakh-Syunik region led by Davit Bek and the meliks of Artsakh and
the actions of the Armenian commanders, particularly Monte, in the
most recent liberation war in Artsakh. Singers Armen Movsisyan and
Hovhannes Shahbazyan will enrich the evening with their performances,
while an exhibit will showcase photographs dedicated to Artsakh's
liberated regions of Kashatagh and Karvachar.
The program will commence at 7:30 PM and is free to the public. The
Glendale Public Library is located at 222 East Harvard Street,
Glendale, CA 91205.
The event is organized by the "Hayrenaser" organization, which
has a mission to contribute to the preservation and development
of Armenia's independent statehood by identifying and addressing
critical challenges.
