Dear friends,
I invite to the Armenian Library & Museum of America (ALMA) on Thursday,
October 15th for a lecture by Dr. Simon Payaslian, the Kenosian Chair in
Modern Armenian History and Literature at Boston University. The
lecture, titled "Human Rights in Armenian History" will place the
development of human rights in Armenia within a long historical
perspective and will contend that human rights values and customary
practices require centuries of development.
The topic of this lecture is very timely! How much has the absence of
statehood and absence of social and political institutions protecting
human rights affected the outcome of political elections, economic
strategy of modern Armenia and the day-to-day life of ordinary Armenian
citizens?
The lecture is scheduled for 7:00 PM at ALMA’s Contemporary Art Gallery
(65 Main Street in Watertown, Mass.); free parking is available in the
municipal lot on Church Street (located directly behind ALMA’s
building). There will be coffee and refreshments following the
presentation. The Museum galleries will be open until 9 PM for those
interested to visit exhibits currently on display.
For the latest information on this and other ALMA events and exhibits,
please visit ALMA’s website, <; .
Sincerely,
Mariam Stepanyan
