Two voices on the subject of ethnic cleansing are heading to metro
Detroit in April for an interactive discussion of the Armenian
Genocide.
Robert Fisk and Eric Bogosian are to appear April 18 at Edsel Ford High
School in Dearborn to talk about the near-annihilation of Armenians
that began in 1915.
The event, titled "We Remember, We Demand," is sponsored by the
Armenian Genocide Centennial Committee of Greater Detroit.
"This event will help educate people of all ages, regardless
of ethnicity, of the heinous act carried out against Christian
Armenians a century ago that is largely overshadowed on the world
stage," committee Chairman Raffi Ourlian said. "We encourage everyone,
especially younger generations, to attend, ask questions and learn from
having unprecedented access to our speakers' knowledge and opinions."
Fisk is a veteran British journalist and Middle East correspondent for
The Independent, a London-based global newspaper. He has reported on
and published several books on armed conflicts, has won numerous awards
and interviewed terrorism mastermind Osama bin Laden three times.
Bogosian, a well-known Armenian-American actor, is perhaps best known
for writing Talk Radio and subUrbia, two stage productions that were
successfully adapted for the silver screen. He also has starred in
"Law & Order: Criminal Intent" and soon will have a genocide-themed
book, "Operation Nemesis," published.
Fisk and Bogosian will take to the Edsel Ford stage at 7 p.m. The
school is at 20601 Rotunda Drive, near Outer Drive, in Dearborn. The
event also will feature a genocide-themed performance by the Hamazkayin
Arax Dance Ensemble.
Admission is free but donations will be accepted.
