THE "RICHARD AND TINA CAROLAN FUND" CONTINUES FINANCING
NEW PUBLICATIONS UNDER THE AUSPICES OF THE CATHOLICOSATE OF CILICIA
The "Richard and Tina Carolan" Publishing Fund unveiled its most recent
publication- Manuel Keshishian’s "Mokagan Hayeliner" (Magic Mirrors), a
series of plays- during a meeting of its jury on August 26.
The "Richard and Tina Carolan" Fund has been established under the auspices
of the Catholicosate of Cilicia and the members of the jury are assigned by
His Holiness Aram I. The Fund provides an opportunity to Diaspora Armenian
intellectuals and writers, particularly from the new generation, to publish
their works.
The members of the Fund’s jury include Archbishop Varoujan Hergelian, V.
Rev. Fr. Krikor Chiftjian (Secretary), Dr. Zaven Meserlian (Chairman),
Barour Aghbashian and Sarkis Giragosian.
The Fund has thus far financed the publication of four volumes: Vartan
Mateossian’s "Haravayin Goghmn Ashkhari" (The Southern Side of the World);
Hagop Tcholakian’s "Andioki Mertsaga Roudgi Hovidi Hayere" (The Armenians of
the Valley of Roudge near Antioch; Dr. Saleh Zahreddine’s "Hayots
Yegeghetsvo Teragadaroutyoune 1915-I Tcharteroun" (The Role of the Armenian
Church in the Massacres of 1915); and the most recent volume mentioned
above.
His Holiness Aram I chaired the meeting of the Jury, which expressed its
commitment to fund new publications in order to encourage the intellectuals
of the new generation.
All works submitted are discussed by the Jury. Upon the Jury’s approval, the
works are published as the new volumes of the "Richard and Tina Carolan"
Fund.
