Talking Vartan Podcast

Episode 14, entitled "We Remember" commemorates the 105th anniversary of the Armenian Genocide in both words and music. Among the participants are our leaders, Grand Commander Steven Adams and Grand Matron Alice Kalustian. We'll talk to Past Grand Commander Dr. Dennis Papazian, a scholar, and lecturer on Armenian affairs about how genocide affects us still, both historically and politically. Past Commander of Ararat Lodge, The Reverend Father Antranig Baljian will offer a special prayer for the victims of the genocide. We'll pay tribute to the victims in song with music from Charles Aznavour, George Garvarentz, and Alan Hovhaness. Finally, my mother and sister will join me in introducing you to my grandfather, a genocide survivor who wrote about his experiences in heart-wrenching detail. Hosted and Produced by Asbed David Medzorian of Ararat Lodge No. 1 in Boston.
