Dennis Papazian's journey is a classic American immigrant tale. Through it all, he shares his wit, resilience, keen sense of perception, and vision, as well as the memorable characters he meets along the way, as he reflects on his consequential, eventful, and at times surprising life. It is a story that will inspire and give hope to all who join him on his journey.

To mark the publication of the beautiful Armenian Treasures in Romania (Patrimoniul Eparhiei Armene din România), join us for this presentation by three of the contributors to the volume, scholars Levon Chookaszian and Claude Mutafian and renowned photographer Hrair Hawk Khatcherian.
