    Armenian Kesaria/Kayseri and Cappadocia focuses on the history of the
    Armenians in the city of Kesaria (Gesaria) and its many outlying
    villages, including Talas, Everek, Fenesse, Tomarza, Chomakhlu,
    Injesu, Efkere, and Germir. During the centuries of Ottoman rule, the
    Armenians of Kesaria were noted as goldsmiths and skilled
    craftsmen. Professionals and producers of carpets, linens, textiles,
    leather goods, pottery, and cured beef. For centuries the Armenians of
    the Kesaria region managed to preserve their distinct identity with
    their tightly-knit communities, strong religious faith, schools and
    churches, like almost all other areas of Armenian existence in the
    Ottoman Empire. However, in 1915 during the Armenian Genocide they
    were uprooted and deported toward the Syrian deserts, with very few of
    the survivors ever returning.


    The program is sponsored by Nor Serount Cultural Association, Tekeyan
    Cultural Association, and Hamazkayin Regional Executive Committee of
    the Western United States.
