The general public is cordially invited to a lecture and discussion
on " The Epic Novel about General Andranik " by Lusine Sahakyan,
Associate Professor of Turkish Studies and Director of the Center
for Ottoman studies at the Yerevan State University .
Lusine Sahakyan’s editorial efforts culminate in presenting the reader
with a work that was originally recorded and revised in 1960s-1980s
by a survivor of Western Armenia dialectologist-ethnographer Suren
Sahakyan as the " Story about Andranik " epic novel. This folk story
is a unique example of an epic created in 19’th-20’th centuries,
a wonderful product of Armenian collective thought, manifesting an
attitude towards a heroic and a national liberation struggle. The epic
novel is comprehensive equivalent of national hero’s life achievements.
This very special event will take place on Thursday, June 12, 2008 at
7:00 p.m. at Glendale Central Library, 222 E. Harvard St., Glendale,
CA. The event is open to the public and admission is free.
