WATERTOWN, Mass.—The Hairenik Association is proud to announce the release of its 2015 Hairenik Wall Calendar. The bilingual calendar features photographs from recent trips to Western Armenia by contributors George Aghjayan, Nanore Barsoumian, Bared Maronian, Khatchig Mouradian, and Eric Nazarian. The images are of various Armenian religious and cultural sites that have endured decades of destruction and desecration, yet stand today as defiant symbols of Armenian survival.
