Armenian massacres

The Gomidas Institute is pleased to announce that its London symposium,
"Remembering Adana 1909: A Hunderd 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 Gomidas 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".

The Gomidas Institute is also launching a photographic exhibition on
Adana 1909 as well as a commemorative publication. For more information

The Gomidas Institute is an independent academic institution
specializing in modern Armenian history.
