    By Armenian Weekly Staff
    January 4, 2010

    ANTELIAS, Lebanon - Prof. Taner Akçam, author of A Shameful Act: The
    Armenian Genocide an the Question of Turkish Responsibility, visited
    the Armenian Catholicosate at Antelias on Jan. 3.

    Four years ago, when Catholicos of Cilicia Aram I was invited to
    lecture at the College of Saint Benedict and Saint John's University
    in Minnesota, Dr. Akcam expressed the desire to visit the
    Catholicosate of Cilicia, which was a victim of the Genocide.

    The Turkish Historian's visit will last for five days, during which he
    will give lectures and meet with Armenian intellectuals and university
    students. His first lecture, titled `The Turkish Recognition of the
    Armenian Genocide and Turkish National Security,' will be held on Jan.
    4 at 7 p.m. at the Catholicosate in Antelias. His second lecture,
    titled `The Armenian genocide as Part of a Demographic Policy,' is
    organized by the Armenian National Committee of the Middle East and
    will be held on Jan. 8 at 7:30 p.m. at the Punik Auditorium in Bourj
    Hammoud.
