Southern Asia 97 years ago today: Turkish-Armenian War (28 Nov 1920) http://omniatlas.com/maps/southasia/19201128/ The Treaty of Sevres granted Armenia a large swathe of eastern Anatolia as reparation for the Ottoman Empire's persecution of the Armenians during World War I. However this territory was now under the control of the Turkish Nationalists, who invaded the Republic of Armenia itself in September. Facing the prospect of Turkish occupation, the Armenians were forced to renounce their claims under Sevres on December 3. The following day, Soviet troops, who were already invading from Azerbaijan, entered Yerevan, bringing Armenia's independence to an end. #southasia #history #welovemaps #1920 #1920s #afghanistan #armenia #bukhara #britain #azerbaijan #india #iran #maps #november #november28 #oman #russia #ussr #turkey #turkishnationalists #sevres #sovietunion #westernarmenia (at Kars, Turkey)

Anatolian, Eastern Turkey, Western Armenian families.  I would like to know what the hand gestures of the lady with her children mean.

Yours truly had an opportunity to experience the multi-media Luys I Luso Installation (proudly sponsored by the LA Department of Cultural Affairs) with special free live performances by Tigran Hamasyan. This event came to the center of LA's #LittleArmenia, in a huge open outdoor space at the corner of #Hollywood Blvd. and Western Ave. on Friday, April 29th. Beginning at 7pm, the show ran several times accompanied by Tigran Hamasyan live on the piano. "Hear, see and feel the revival of #ancient musical #hymns through visual projections and natural #auric melodies that #vibrate through the Լոյս ի Լուսոյ / Luys i Luso Installation.
