AGBU’s Toronto chapter and The National Association for Armenian Studies and Research were proud to welcome Michael Bobelian, journalist, attorney and grandson of Genocide survivors at the Alex Manoogian Cultural Center on Friday, November 13th.

Mr. Bobelian gave a talk titled “Children of Armenia: A Forgotten Genocide and the Century-Long Struggle for Justice” that detailed the social and political reasons for which the Armenian Genocide has long faded from public consciousness.

Having conducted years of archival research and personal interviews, Bobelian’s presentation was both captivating and informative. A reception, question and answer period and book signing followed the lecture. Attendees greatly appreciated the insights Bobelian provided; the event was a success!
