L’astrophysicien Beniamin Markarian (1913-1985) honoré par la Poste arménienne

Le 21 novembre, à l’occasion du 100ième anniversaire de la naissance
du grand astrophysicien arménien Beniamin Markarian (1913-1985), la
Poste d’Arménie a procédé à l’émission d’un timbre-poste en son
honneur. D’une valeur faciale de 170 drams, tiré à 40 000 exemplaires,
le timbre représente le portrait de Beniamin Markarian, avec au fond,
l’observatoire arménien de Byurakan et des galaxies. L’astrophysicien
arménien a réalisé de nombreuses découvertes et notamment les galaxies
brillantes qui portent désormais le nom de Markarian.

“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
