Matthew Karanian in Historic Armenia

Award-winning author, Matthew Karanian presents his newest book:

‘Historic Armenia after 100 Years: Ani, Kars, and the Six Provinces of
Western Armenia.’

This new book is the first-ever guide to cultural sites of the vast
and ancient Armenian homeland that is located in today’s Turkey. The
book features all six Armenian provinces of Western Armenia, as well
as the Eastern Armenian region of Ani and Kars. ‘Historic Armenia’ is
lavishly illustrated with 125 color photographs and maps. In many
cases, historic images from 100 years ago are included, illustrating
the once-magnificent condition of the Armenian churches, monasteries,
and towns
that are now either in ruins or were razed after 1915.

Light refreshments will be served
