Please join us for a special presentation by Dr. Hayk Demoyan drawing on his massive publication Тифлис: Иллюстрированная история Армянского наследия (Tiflis: An Illustrated History of Its Armenian Heritage, 2024). This volume presents previously unknown or little-known pages of the history of Tiflis (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 both the Georgian and Armenian peoples, who for centuries endured together the trials and hardships of a shared destiny.
Although Dr. Demoyan's book on Tiflis is not yet available from NAASR, many of his other publications are and there are many other new titles in stock! We invite you to come to NAASR, visit the bookstore, and enjoy the good company and a great lecture!
This event is free and open to all. Following the program there will be a reception.
