host a conference in the European Parliament on the rediscovery of
Armenians and of Armenian cultural heritage in Turkey on November 13.

Year for Intercultural Dialogue. It will review the recent public
debate in Turkey on the country’s forgotten Armenian heritage in the

cultural heritage in Turkey from a European perspective, the AGBU
told PanARMENIAN.Net.

Speakers at the conference will include Fethiye Cetin, author of the
book "My Grandmother", Osman Koker, creator of the groundbreaking
exhibition "My Dear Brother", art historian Professor Patrick
Donabedian as well as historian Vahe Tachjian and historian and
publisher Ara Sarafian.

“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
