    LOS ANGELES, APRIL 6, NOYAN TAPAN - ARMENIANS TODAY. The UCLA
    Armenian Educational Foundation Chair in Modern Armenian History has
    organized three events between April 13 and 18 commemorating the 95th
    anniversary of the Armenian Genocide, 1915-2010. The first two events
    will be held on the UCLA campus and the third in the Glendale Public
    Library Auditorium.

    1914-1916: "A Special Case" during the Armenian Genocide." He says:
    "Scholarship on the Armenian Genocide is in constant development.

    his detailed study that will be released as a book later in 2010.
