The presentation, organized by the Regional Executive Board of Hamazkayin Lebanon, in cooperation with "Vahe Sethian" Publishing House and its Book Distribution Unit, took place on Friday, December 9, 2016, at 8: 00 pm, at Hamazkayin "Lucy Tutunjyan" Art Gallery.
Member of the Regional Executive Board of Hamazkayin Lebanon, Marina Hamamjian delivered the opening speech of the event. She gave praise to the author of the book saying, "We can truly say that intellectual Spartak Gharabaghtsyan is the best example of being a bridge between Armenia and the Diaspora. The noble Armenian frets about his nation, is far from insincerity, and has natural impulse. Spartak Gharabaghtsyan, by virtue of his work, has always been an active figure in our national life, and equally cares about the affairs of both Homeland and the Diaspora.″
Then Marina Hamamjian added that the book "Residence of the Sun" is the second one in the book series of "Our Neighborhood", which greatly enriched Spartak Gharabaghtsyan's collection of literary and theatrical works, and the journalistic essays. In this book, the author expresses his emotions, tells his memories and some episodes taken place in various regions of Armenia and the Diaspora, describes the inhabitants, and conveys a message to the reader.
Felix Bakhchinyan presented the book "Residence of the Sun" saying that the author had tried not to miss any details in his book recollecting old neighborhood’s inhabitants, their dear faces and images, which he had kept deep in his heart.
