    visited Istanbul, Ankara, Kars, and Ani in March 2010. During their
    visit, they met and interviewed Turkish political leaders (including
    Turkish President Abdullah Gul and Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu),
    as well as policymakers and journalists.

    In April, Mouradian made a second trip to Turkey, giving a
    commemoration lecture in Istanbul on April 24 and taking part in
    a symposium on the Armenian Genocide and reparations in Ankara on
    April 25.

    During the lecture at ALMA, which is organized by the ARF
    "Sardarabad" Gomideh of Boston, Sanamyan and Mouradian will discuss
    these trips. Mouradian's account of April 24-25 in Turkey will be
    accompanied by a slide show of images from all commemoration events
    and gatherings in Istanbul and Ankara.

    Sanamyan is the editor of the Armenian Reporter. After joining
    the publication in 2006, he first worked as the Washington Bureau
    chief. From 2000-06, Sanamyan was with the Armenian Assembly of
    America as research officer, and before that worked as an aide to
    Artsakh's representative in the U.S. A native of Baku, Sanamyan was
    raised there and in Moscow, and was educated at the University of
    Arizona and at George Washington University.

    Mouradian is a journalist, writer, and translator. He was an editor
    of the Lebanese-Armenian Aztag Daily from 2000-07, when he moved
    to Boston and became the editor of the Armenian Weekly. He is a
    Ph.D. student in Holocaust and genocide studies at Clark University. He
    has lectured extensively and participated in conferences in Armenia,
    Turkey, Cyprus, Lebanon, Syria, Austria, Switzerland, Norway, and
    the U.S. He has presented several papers on genocide and the media
    at academic conferences.

    ALMA is located at 65 Main St. in Watertown, Mass.
