Accompanied by a PowerPoint presentation
Thursday, November 15, 7:00 p.m.
Organized by Dr. Anahit Ter-Stepanian with support from the Krikor and
Clara Zohrab Information Center of the Diocese of the Armenian Church
of America, Eastern.
A presentation about Armenian cultural heritage in Turkey and the
complexities related to its destruction, its survival and the
potential for its preservation .
Steven Sim will explore the range of Armenian buildings and related
monuments that still survive in Turkey. He will talk about what has
survived, what is their current condition of preservation, what are
the attitudes to them from Turks within Turkey and from Armenians and
non-Armenians outside Turkey, what are the problems that are impacting
the surviving buildings, and what solutions would best ensure their
survival. Steven Sim will also address newer emerging issues - such as
the recent spate of restorations of questionable quality: the recent
restoration of the buildings on Aghtamar Island being the best known
example of this.
Event is open to the public.
