He welcomed the participants and said that he first had the opportunity to meet the thoughtful patriot and great intellectual Carlos Sayandian and enjoy his works in 2013, in Homeland. In 2014, the Lebanese Armenian Community met the artist for the first time and was closely acquainted with the painter's valuable masterpieces, which represent our cultural heritage and especially our historical lands.
Havatian said that it was a great joy for the Hamazkayin family to host Carlos Sayadian at Lucy Tutunjyan Art Gallery once again.
