Professor Simon Payaslian, the Charles K. and Elizabeth M. Kenosian Chair in Modern Armenian History and Literature at Boston University, will speak on Armenian history in the last days of the Ottoman Empire just before the genocide. The talk will cover the history of that period through the lenses of two famous Armenian poets, Varoujan and Siamanto, who were leading figures among intellectuals and activists arrested, exiled to the interior, and murdered during the early phases of the genocide in Armenia.
The IHI is co-sponsor of this important, inaugural lecture by Professor Payaslian. |
