WATERTOWN, Mass.--On Sat., June 14, the Armenian Museum of America will
present a lecture by Dr. Richard G. Hovannisian on "The Armenians of
Gesaria: From Evkere and Talas to Mount Arkeos, Chomakhlu, and Evereg."
Hovannisian was the UCLA Armenian Educational Foundation Chair in
Modern Armenian History and Distinguished Chancellor's Fellow at
Chapman University, Orange County, California. He is a Guggenheim
Fellow and has received many honors for his scholarship, civic
activities, and advancement of Armenian studies, including election
to the Armenian National Academy of Sciences.
Drawing on his research for contribution to the 12th in a series
of volumes on historic Armenian cities and provinces, Armenian
Kesaria/Kayseri and Cappadocia, Hovannisian will give a presentation
with PowerPoint illustrations and selected film shorts of the region's
Armenian history and the significant roles played by Armenians,
both in urban and rural Kesaria/Gesaria (now Kayseri). The Armenian
presence in Cappadocia and Kesaria dates back to the times of Tigran
the Great and Gregory the Illuminator. Down through the centuries
Armenian communities in the area grew in number and size. Hovannisian
has visited Kesaria several times. The lecture begins at 7 p.m.,
at the Armenian Museum of America, 65 Main St. in Watertown. It is
free and open to the public.
