Dr. Lusine Sahakyan to present – The Epic Novel about General Andranik-
The general public is cordially invited to a lecture and discussion on
– The Epic Novel about General Andranik – by Lusine Sahakyan,
Associate Professor of Turkish Studies and Director of the Center for
Ottoman studies at the Yerevan State University.
Lusine Sahakyan’s editorial efforts culminate in presenting the reader
with a work that was originally recorded and revised in 1960s-1980s by
a survivor of Western Armenia dialectologist-ethnographer Suren
Sahakyan as the – Story about Andranik – epic novel. This folk story
is a unique example of an epic created in 19’th-20’th centuries, a
wonderful product of Armenian collective thought, manifesting an
attitude towards a heroic and a national liberation struggle. The epic
novel is comprehensive equivalent of national hero’s life
achievements.

CA. The event is open to the public and admission is free.
