Azat Posted May 7, 2001 Report Share Posted May 7, 2001 Mike, I hope you don't mind if I add some of the details. ---------- When: May 19 and 20, 2001 Where: at Dickson Auditorium on the UCLA campus The eighth in the series of international conferences on historic Armenian cities and provinces will be held in Dickson Auditorium the UCLA campus on Saturday and Sunday, May 19-20. Armenian Constantinople will be featured, with the participation of scholars from Armenia, Argentina, Canada, England, France, Turkey, and the United States. According to conference organizer Professor Richard Hovannisian, the Saturday sessions from 9:30 am to 6:00 pm are devoted to the Armenian presence in Constantinople from Byzantine times to the nineteenth century. The Sunday sessions from 10 am to 6:00 pm concentrate on the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. The Sunday morning sesssion only will be conducted in the Armenian language with five presentations, including three by scholars from Armenia. The conference is sponsored by the Armenian Educational Foundation Chair in Modern Armenian History in cooperation with the UCLA International Studies and Overseas Programs; Division of Social Sciences; Center for European and Russian Studies; and the Department of History; as well as the Organization of Istanbul Armenians. "We are thankful to the scholars and gratified by the appreciative public who together have made this series truly exceptional," said AEF Chairholder Richard Hovannisian. "Constantinople was the largest and most important Armenian center in the Ottoman Empire, and it is appropriate that after focusing on the provinces of historic Armenia, we should explore the rich heritage of Armenian Bolis." The preceding conferences in this series have been on Van/Vaspurakan; Baghesh/Bitlis and Taron/Mush; Tsopk/Kharpert; Karin/Erzerum; Sebastia/Sivas; Tigranakert/Diarbekir and Edessa/Urfa; and Cilicia. The next in the series on November 10-11, 2001, will feature Kars, Ani, and the Black Sea Communities. The conference proceedings are being edited and published. The first, "ArmenianVan/Vaspurakan" is now available, and "Armenian Baghesh/Bitlis and Taron/Mush" will be released during the summer. The others will follow.
