The classes opened by the efforts of benefactor Gerard Dervishian and poet, lecturer Manvel Qyoseyan were held in wonderful atmosphere. Students, workers of the educational sphere and artists took part in the classes. The first lecture was dedicated to Levon Mirijanian and his "Our Lovely One" book that was put out in Yerevan last year. Rudolf Kharatian delivered a lecture on Armenian dance. Hrach Gasparian and Manvel Qyoseyan spoke of the current economic situation of Armenia and Armenian Diaspora and its literature. Qyoseyan also presented "The Armenians and Ancient Armenia" book after Paris Heruni. During 7 months more than 25 lectures were delivered and numerous films about Armenia and Diaspora were shown.
