April 6-9 the second all-Armenian forum of writers, featuring 51
authors from Armenia, was held in Beirut.

According to the President of the Union of Writers of Armenia Levon
Ananyan, one of the important outcomes of the forum is that Avetik
Isahakyan’s monument will be erected in the center of Beirut in the
nearest future. A youth literary fund will be founded to publish
textbooks for Diaspora- Armenian educational establishments.

The whole revenue for the exhibition-sale held in the framework of
the forum will go to the all-Armenian literary fund.

At the end of the forum Aram A Catholicos of the Great House of
Cilikia awarded Levon Ananyan with a “Saint Mesrop Mashtots” order.

Emil Lazarian: “I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
