The third book by Vrej-Armen Ostayn 7-Constellation was published online.
It includes the author's notes about his journeys to a number of Armenian Diasporan communities. In the introduction to the book, Vrej-Armen mentions: "This is not an informational report, but the records of my impressions and thoughts. It is not a diary, but a narration that makes reading easier."
″This traveler’s diary refers to my trips to Toronto, Vancouver, Atlanta, Massachusetts, Florida, Fresno, Australia, Syria, and especially to Lebanon. Lebanon takes an important place in this volume since I have visited the Cedar country for many times," writes the author and then he adds, "On the other hand, there were many communities, which I visited and enjoyed their hospitality, but those visits did not turn into Ostayns, and I don’t know why. Here I should add that almost every my record is kept in the form of diary or letter, and one day, perhaps, they will also be published ... One day."
Numerous of photos are attached to these records, and they are not included to decorate the pages, "but to display other environment or atmosphere, and to show what is not expressed in words."
These traveler’s notes are included in Ostayn 3: Communion and Ostayn 6 – Date Place volumes (both include the trips to Armenia) and also in Ostayn 7-Constellation. Parallel to Ostayn 7, the last Ostayn 8-Roads was prepared, and it will soon be published. It also includes "traveler’s notes during vacations, in which, the author continuously tells about his communications with Armenians and not only with them, his feelings and emotions".
The author’s last four volumes are available to the reader in the Books section of the Armenian blog site (https://hayerenblog.wordpress.com/ Books). There you can also read the the author's non-personal letters that will soon be completed.
