The National Association for Armenian Studies and Research (NAASR)
will present a program entitled "America’s Response to the Armenian
Genocide: Then and Now," on Wednesday, April 28, 2010, at 7:30 p.m. at
the NAASR Center, 395 Concord Ave., Belmont, MA.
This program reprises part of the recent conference "America’s
Response to the Armenian Genocide: From Woodrow Wilson to Barack
Obama" held at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology on March 13.
Conference co-organizer Dr. Bedross Der Matossian of MIT will provide
an introduction to the evening, describing the goals and results of
the conference, and will serve as moderator.
Two of the speakers at that conference, Dr. Suzanne Moranian and Marc
Mamigonian, will present slightly expanded versions of their papers.
Dr. Moranian, who holds a Ph.D. in History from the University of
Wisconsin, will speak on "America’s Foreign Policy and the Armenian
Genocide: 1915-1927." Moranian is a member of NAASR’s Board of
Directors and is President of the Armenian International Women’s
Association. She is the author of American Missionaries and the
Armenian Question: 1915-1927. NAASR Academic Affairs Director and
Vice-President of the Society for Armenian Studies Marc Mamigonian
will present "Turkish-Armenian `Reconciliation’ and the Road to
Obama’s `Medz Yeghern.’"
