    KALIGIAN TO SPEAK AT LOWELL ARF ANNIVERSARY

    Armenian Weekly
    Wed, Nov 16 2011

    LOWELL, Mass.-On Sat., Dec. 10, Dr. Dikran M. Kaligian, author,
    visiting professor, and political activist, will address the
    subject "Armenia's Evolution Toward Independence" during the 116th
    anniversary of the Lowell "Aharonian" Gomideh, which will take
    place at 6 p.m. at the Lowell ARS Community Center, 142 Liberty St.
    Dr. Dikran M. Kaligian As the first organized Gomideh in the United
    States, its ungers take tremendous pride in their past accomplishments,
    both from a political standpoint as well as remaining a cultural and
    fraternal benchmark throughout the Armenian American community of
    Merrimack Valley.

    In addition to serving as the ARF Central Committee's liaison to the
    Lowell Gomideh, Kaligian has made a number of speaking engagements
    there, most notably as chair of the Armenian National Committee of
    America (ANCA) Eastern United States.

    He remains a leading activist in fighting defamation by mainstream
    media outlets regarding denial of the Armenian Genocide.

    Kaligian received his doctorate in history from Boston College in
    2003. He is the author of Armenian Organization and Ideology under
    Ottoman Rule: 1908-1914, published by Transaction Publishers.

    He has been a visiting professor of Armenian Genocide studies at Clark
    University and has also taught at Westfield State, Wheaton College, and
    Regis College. He has also served as managing editor of the Armenian
    Review. His articles have been published in many leading publications.

    Dinner will precede the program. Tickets are $20 (adults) and $10
    (students) and are available at the door.

    For more information, call Tom Vartabedian at (978) 373-1654.
