    TANER AKÇAM, TURKISH DISSIDENT SCHOLAR AND HISTORIAN TO LECTURE AT ANTELIAS

    Taner Akçam, author of A Shameful Act: The Armenian Genocide an the Question
    of Turkish Responsibility, will be visiting the Armenian Catholicosate at
    Antelias on the 3rd of January. He has been one of the first Turkish
    intellectuals who through his publications and lectures has stressed the
    necessity of the official recognition of the Armenian Genocide by the
    Turkish Government.

    Mr. Akçam was Visiting Associate Professor of History at the University of
    Minnesota and in 2008, he was appointed to the Chair of 'Armenian Genocide'
    Studies at Clark University, Worcester, MA irrespective of local Turkish
    opposition. Four years ago, when HH Aram I was invited to lecture at the
    College of Saint Benedict and Saint John's University in Minnesota, Dr.
    Akçam expressed the desire to visit the Catholicosate of Cilicia, a victim
    of the Genocide.

    The Turkish Historian's visit will last for five days, when he will be
    giving lectures and meeting Armenian intellectuals as well as University
    students. His first lecture will be on Monday, 4th of January at 7:00 pm at
    the Catholicosate on The Turkish Recognition of the Armenian Genocide and
    Turkish National Security.
