/PanARMENIAN.Net/ The Komitas Institute is pleased to announce that its
London symposium, "Remembering Adana 1909: A Hundred Year Perspective",
at the London School of Economics on 28 March 2009 has been changed
and will now take place at Sabanci University in Istanbul on 6-7
November 2009. The new time and venue was recently agreed and the
meeting will take place with the sponsorship of the Komitas Institute,
the Hrant Dink Foundation and Sabanci University.

"Holding our symposium on Adana 1909 in Istanbul later on this year
was an opportunity we could not miss" said Ara Sarafian, the current
director of the Gomidas Institute. "The Adana massacres of 1909 are
part of Ottoman history and there is already great interest to have
such a meeting in Turkey. We plan to broaden our approach with a new
call for papers to encourage more Turkish participants."

“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
