On November 21, 2010, the Armenian Embassy in Cairo held the launch of Hedatarts Antratarts (Retrospective Reflections), a new book written by AGBU Egypt Chairman Berdj Terzian. Members of local Armenian institutions, clubs and organizations attended the event, along with His Grace Bishop Ashot Mnatsaganian, Primate of the Armenian Apostolic Church of Egypt, and Ambassador Armen Melkonian of the Republic of Armenia to Egypt.
The book, which is a collection of Terzian's articles, speeches, and interviews over the past thirty years, touches on topics such as politics, education, culture, and sports within the Armenian and Egyptian communities. “The book is unquestionably an important contribution to Armenian- and Egyptian-related local and international affairs, at a time when it's rare to find authors in our community with Armenian writing talent, skills, and perception,” said Ambassador Melkonian. His Grace Bishop Ashot Mnatsaganian also praised the depth and insight of the book, as well as the author's lifelong contribution in the Armenian community.
In a concise speech, the author thanked the Ambassador of Armenia for hosting the book launch and all those who honored the invitation with their presence and support. Terzian is a prominent Armenian-Egyptian intellectual, whose continuous devotion to Armenian affairs has left a significant imprint within the Armenian community. The book is an honest reflection of his rich and profound experiences and in-depth knowledge of Armenian and Egyptian matters. He has been a member of the AGBU District Committee of Egypt since 1964, and has served as chairman since 1988. He is the honorary chairman of AGBU Cairo, a role that followed his chairmanship from 1992 to 2002. He is also the editorial advisor for Armenian-related issues of AGBU Cairo's "Arek" Arabic publication and its "Deghegadou" Armenian quarterly magazine. Terzian acted as the chairman of the executive board of the Armenian Apostolic Patriarchate in Cairo from 2003 to 2006 and is an active member of the Diocesan Council of the Armenian Church in Cairo.
