Yervant1 Posted August 26, 2008 Report Share Posted August 26, 2008 Armenian Technology Group, Inc. 1300 E. Shaw Ave Suite 131 P.O. Box 5969 Fresno, CA 93755 Tel: 559-224-1000 Fax: 559-224-1002 Website: www.atgusa.org www.saroyancentennial.org PRESS RELEASE August 25, 2008 Contact: Varoujan Der Simonian Tel: 559-224-1000 The State of California Designates 2008 as the William Saroyan Year 2008 has been designated as `William Saroyan Year.' State Senator Dave Cogdill (R-Modesto) introduced the Senate Resolution to honor Mr. Saroyan and the many cultural contributions Armenian Americans have made to California over the last 100 years. The resolution was passed unanimously by both chambers of the legislature. `We thank Senator Cogdill for taking the initiative to honor Saroyan who put the Central Valley and specially Fresno on the literary map of the world,' said Varoujan Der Simonian of the Armenian Technology Group. `Saroyan once said that he didn't make Fresno famous, raisins did. The reality is that wherever you travel in the world, be that in Europe, Russia, Japan or the Far East, and when people find out that you are from Fresno, they will immediately say, `Ah, Saroyan! Isn't that where William Saroyan was from?' `It is wonderful to see over forty San Joaquin Valley organizations come together to honor Mr. Saroyan's many contributions to the Central Valley. His observations about our community live on in his Pulitzer Prize winning books and shed light on the 125 years of cultural contributions by Armenian Americans to the state,' said Senator Dave Cogdill. `Saroyan was a great American and I am proud to have sponsored the resolution in his honor.' A photo exhibition honoring Saroyan and the cultural contributions to California by Armenian Americans is now on display through September 24, at the State Capitol Museum in Sacramento. On August 28th, there will be a special Centennial Celebration of William Saroyan's birthday at the Fresno Convention Center's William Saroyan Theatre. Sponsored by the Armenian Museum, the City of Fresno, The Fresno Bee and the Saroyan Centennial Committee, the event will feature the National Chamber Orchestra of Armenia, under the Artistic Director and Conductor, Maestro Aram Gharabekian, world renowned Matzo Soprano Edna Garabedian, and the Fresno Choral Artists. There will be pre-concert festivities, followed by after concert dessert, birthday cake and champagne. A complete text of the resolution is followed.

Yervant1 Posted January 29, 2016 Report Share Posted January 29, 2016 Editor-in-chief of `Orer'. `There is no language than the Czech thathas published Saroyan so often'January 28 2016Aravot.am asked the editor-in-chief of the `Orer' Pan-Europeanmagazine issued in the Czech Republic, Hakob Asatryan, whether thereis a reading crisis in the Czech Republic, something that is commonthroughout the world. `It does not concern the Czech Republic becausethe Czechs are reading a lot. Here, perhaps, among all Europeancountries, is the only place where the books are sold the most. Thereare still few-floor bookstores operating in the Czech Republic, evenmega-stores,' said Hakob Asatryan. He also brought a fact that thereis no European language that so often publishes William Saroyan, theCzech have translated so much that perhaps there is no-Europeanlanguage that has published Saroyan so often as Czech. `Czech Republichas maintained the tradition of presenting books on Christmas and NewYear. On New Year, the turn at the supermarkets selling food is aslong as at the bookstores. As for the local Armenians, they moreprefer the Internet, although the older generation is reading withgreat pleasure, both magazines and books,' the editor-in-chief of`Orer' magazine is convinced.Gohar HAKOBYAN,Read more at: http://en.aravot.am/2016/01/28/174011/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
