AN EVENT DEDICATED TO THE HEROIC BATTLE OF MUSA LER AND THE HISTORY OF ANJAR WAS HELD IN CALIFORNIA
YEREVAN, OCTOBER 29, ARMENPRESS. An event dedicated to the heroic
battle of Musa Ler and the history of Anjar was organized by the branch
of Orange County "Siamanto" of Hamazgayin/All-National Educational
and Cultural Union. Doctor of History Vahram Shemesian lectured at
the event. He had introduced the same lecture in an international
conference held in Prague dedicated to the genocides and their
prevention and inspired by the history of heroic battle of Musa Ler.
The lecture had an extraordinary success, which displeased the
Ambassador of Turkey. He suggested introducing "the other side of
the genocide" as well.
In a conversation with "Armenpress" Shemesian said: "The Jewish
organizers of the conference advised the Ambassador of Turkey to take
into consideration that the Genocide is a fact and has no other side
at all."
Writer Edvard Boyajyan described Anjar village, which became the
refuge for the people from Musa Ler, like this: "Anjar is a bad place.
It's difficult and painful to live here."
It's difficult to imagine today that Anjar, which now resembles to a
modern European place, decades ago was a swampy and deserted handful
of earth. This town of Lebanon was inhabited and enriched by the
Armenians from Musa Ler.
