    ANTELIAS TO HOST CONFERENCE AND EXHIBITION
    ON THE ADANA MASSACRES

    On the occasion of the 100th anniversary of the massacres of Adana
    (1909-2009), His Holiness Aram I said: "this sad page in the contemporary
    history of the Armenian nation should be remembered with due importance and
    seriousness." He then continued, "in 2009, the Catholicosate of Cilicia will
    organize a conference, an exhibition, and will oversee the publication of
    books and documents related to the Adana massacres.

    Based on this decision, the Catholicosate informs the community
    organizations, academic institutions, scholars and the general public of the
    following plans:

    1) During October 29-30 2009, a conference will be held in Antelias,
    dedicated to the Adana massacres under the leadership of His Holiness Aram
    I. All those interested in participating in the event should contact the
    Catholicosate of Cilicia.

    2) A Special Committee, in cooperation with The Department of Armenian
    Studies of the Catholicosate of Cilicia, will screen and sponsor
    publications related to the Adana massacres. The Catholicosate invites
    researchers, scholars, writers and all those who possess relevant works are
    invited to submit their proposals to the Catholicosate.

    3) We invite all Armenians in the community who own valuable
    artifacts, photos and archive documents that relate to the Armenians of
    Adana and their massacre, to make them available to the Catholicosate for
    the planned exhibition.
