Attendees can expect a reflective atmosphere with cultural presentations and discussions about the significance of this event.
The evening will explore the story of the six Armenian villages—Kabusie, Yoghunolukh, Bitias, Vakef, Khederbeg, and Haji-Habibli—whose residents held out for fifty-three days on the mountain. The narrative of survival and rescue by French warships, including the *Guichen*, offers a powerful backdrop for the program.
