Around 300 people attended the lectures and movie on Saroukhan organized by the Bibliotheca Alexandrina on Thursday 11th October in homage of this great Armeno-Egyptian caricaturist.

The lecture was held under the auspices of Dr. Ismail Serag EL Din, Head of the Bibliotheca with the attendance of Ms. Lamia Abdel Fattah, Head of Libraries sector and Ms. Rania Kalawy, Head of Art & Multimedia Library and a large number of caricaturists and library goers as well as a number of Armenians of Alexandria.
