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
