On June 23, Markar Melkonian, elder brother of Monte Melkonian, was invited to the Armenian College, Kolkata by Very Rev. Fr. Khoren Hovhannisyan, Pastor of Armenians in India and Manager of Armenian College and Philanthropic Academy. A reading was organized on Markar’s most recent book, a memoir-biography entitled ‘My Brother’s Road’, at the Armenian College auditorium. The author read out short passages from his book. The book recounts the unbelievable saga of the life and death of his brother Monte Melkonian, a national hero of the Republic of Armenia and Artsakh. It was followed by an interactive session with the students and teachers of the college. They asked questions about "Avo', Monte's nome de guerre in Artsakh, and the writing of the book.. Thereafter, the students recited poems dedicated to "Armenia’s most fearsome fighter". At the end of the programme Father Khoren expressed his gratitude and appreciation to Markar Melkonian and quoted Napolean Bonaparte saying that love for one’s motherland is the primary virtue of a civilized man. “…Monte Melkonian was endowed with the same virtue–‘Patriotism’. His sacrifice for Armenia became an inspiration for the nation to fight for freedom. Monte’s life is and will be a motivation for the generations to come”, concluded Father Hovhannisyan. Markar Melkonian holds a Ph.D. degree in philosophy and is currently a lecturer at the Department of Philosophy at California’s State University, Northridge.
