philanthropist, died in Switzerland.
Before and after settling down in Los Angeles, he contributed to the
publication of a number of Armenian books, including "The Dare Devils
of Sassoun," "The Armenian Ethnology and Folklore," the collection
of works by Hovhannes Toumanian, Comitas, Avetiq Isahakian, Yervand
Otian, Siamanto, Zapel and Hratn Asatours, Mikael Kyouhcian, Yeghishe
Charents, Aksel Bakounts, Garegin A Catholicos, Nvard Toumanian,
Eduard Jrbashian, Gegham Sevan , Varazdat Haroutiunian and by
other authors. He seemed to continue the activities of his elder
brother Simon Simonian, who used to carry out large scale publishing
activities.
Haroutiun Simonian was greatly dedicated to his motherland and to
the culture of his people.
We express heartily condolences to his family.
