At his 70th birthday celebration, which was held in Anaheim,
California, on March 15, Walter Karabian instead of birthday
gifts requested tax-deductible donations to the Armenian Film
Foundation. According to Karabian, due to these donations the
Foundation would go toward completing the third and final Genocide
documentary film, which is titled "Caravans along the Euphrates,
River of Death." The film sheds light on some of the less known facts
about the Armenian Genocide.
His Eminence Archbishop Hovnan Derderian, Primate, attended this event
and in his remarks praised Mr. Karabian and his family, as well as
the organizers, for their contribution to the Armenian cause.
