Book Presentation: Tiflis: An Illustrated History of Armenian Heritage

Please join us on December 3 for our book presentation titled “Tiflis: An Illustrated History of Armenian Heritage” by Dr. Hayk Demoyan.

This illustrated publication presents previously unknown or little-known pages of the history of Tbilisi—the center of Armenian intellectual, economic, and cultural activity in the South Caucasus before and after the region’s annexation by the Russian Empire. Historically, the capital of Georgia developed into a unique micro-civilization where the heritages of many peoples and confessions intertwined. The Armenian presence in old Tiflis is an impressive and valuable legacy of the history and cultural relations between the Georgian and Armenian peoples, who for centuries endured together the trials and hardships of a shared destiny.

 

The event will be held in 133W room at 4pm. We look forward to seeing you there!
