ANTELIAS TO HOST CONFERENCE AND EXHIBITION

Based on this decision, the Catholicosate informs the community organizations, academic institutions, scholars and the general public of the following plans:

1) During October 29-30 2009, a conference will be held in Antelias, dedicated to the Adana massacres under the leadership of His Holiness Aram I. All those interested in participating in the event should contact the Catholicosate of Cilicia.

2) A Special Committee, in cooperation with The Department of Armenian Studies of the Catholicosate of Cilicia, will screen and sponsor publications related to the Adana massacres. The Catholicosate invites researchers, scholars, writers and all those who possess relevant works are invited to submit their proposals to the Catholicosate.

3) We invite all Armenians in the community who own valuable artifacts, photos and archive documents that relate to the Armenians of Adana and their massacre, to make them available to the Catholicosate for the planned exhibition.

The deadline to receive all materials is 31 March 2009. All contacts and enquiries should be addressed to:
