International Book Fair
15:37 04.05.2013
The 26th Tehran International Book Fair held a session during which
the Encyclopedia of Iranian Armenians was unveiled.
The unveiling ceremony was attended by University professor
Hojatoleslam Bahman Akbari, the book's writer Janet. D. Lazarian as
well as a group of Armenians and researchers, the news headquarters of
the 26th Tehran International Book Fair reported.
Talking about the book's author, Hojatoleslam Bahman Akbari said:
`Janet. D. Lazarian is an Iranian Armenian scholar who cooperated in
compiling different works. The Encyclopedia of Iranian Armenians was
unveiled in Armenia before and Iran is now holding the ceremony as a
positive step towards cementing the ties of Iranians, Iranian
Armenians and Armenians themselves.'
Janet. D. Lazarian also said that several years have passed since the
book's publication but the work was converted into Persian this year.
Unfortunately no other books have been published on Iranian Armenians
and their services to Iran since 1600 so far.
Following the fall of the Soviet Union, no information exists about
Iranian Armenians, she said and added: `Unfortunately only noted
scholars and dignitaries are known in Armenia and the Armenians have
no further information on other Iranian Armenians scholars and
hopefully the translation will be a beginning for linking both the
nations.'
Lazarian also thanked Hojatoleslam Bahman Akbari for the efforts he
made for the book's publication. She finally said that Iran's cultural
attaché office in Armenia hadn't prepared enough books for Iranians
and the book was released in 400 copies in Armenia. Hopefully the book
will soon be reprinted for all.
