NORTH HOLLYWOOD, SEPTEMBER 22, ARMENIANS TODAY – NOYAN TAPAN. On

will present a lecture titled, "Embracing the Land of Our Ancestors:
The Presence of the Past".

The power-point presentation, organized by the Holy Trinity Armenian
Church of North Hollywood, will cover the historic Armenian cities

Mashdots College organizes annual pilgrimages to Historic Armenia. In
July, 2008, forty Armenians from the United States and other Diaspora
communities joined Dr. Der Yeghiayan in a 17-day pilgrimage which
offered the participants an opportunity to better understand and
appreciate the centuries-old heritage of the Armenian people, and to
observe firsthand the unparalleled accomplishments of our martyred
ancestors and the immense sacrifices endured by the survivors of the
Armenian Genocide.
