Armenian Genocide website launched at USC
February 21, 2015 10:10
The University of Southern California Institute of Armenian Studies
has launched Year100.org, which is devoted to the centennial of the
Armenian Genocide.
STEPANAKERT, FEBRUARY 21, ARTSAKHPRESS: "Year100.org does more that
just shed light on the past and its place in memory and scholarship
today; it is, in its broadest sense, a centralized indicator of
directions that scholarship and community can take," said Salpi
Ghazarian, Director of the Institute of Armenian Studies. The site is
in three languages: English, Armenian and Turkish.
The purpose is to reach a broad range of scholars, students and anyone
wanting more information about the Genocide itself, or trying still to
understand its causes and consequences, and the ways in which it is
remembered, studied and discussed. The content on Year100.org is
significantly enhanced by the presentation of images by Armenian
photographers. "The variety of types of events - readings, concerts,
books, conferences, exhibitions, lectures - and the variety of
locations from South America to Southeast Asia -- will also spur
further sharing by communities, institutions, organizations thus
broadening the reach and impact of each activity, and supporting
deeper inquiry into the subject," concluded Ghazarian.
