Alice Ketabgian and Dr. Tamara Ketabgian discuss their historical novel The Mayor of Inebolu. The novel explores complex questions surrounding intermarriage, religious tolerance, wartime trauma, and the historical legacy of Armenian and Turkish relations, asking what does it mean to remember the pain of the past while still looking toward the future?

Arakel Minassian discusses the growing and complicated interactions between Eastern and Western Armenian as it stages a discussion on diaspora, home, and the various meanings of Armenianness. This event will feature readings in both Armenian and the English translation. 

Join Italian investigative journalist Simone Zoppellaro on Azerbaijan’s influence campaigns across Italy and the Vatican, and how these efforts fit into Baku’s broader geopolitical strategy vis-à-vis Europe.
