Upon completion, the tapes will be forwarded to Recordings for the Blind headquarters in Princeton, NJ to become part of the 80,000 volumes master tape library. The tapes can be duplicated upon request for anyone who because of a visual, physical, or perceptual disability cannot easily use a printed text.
The director of the project informed the Center that they were fortunate "to have in our corps of volunteer readers a woman fluent in Turkish who is able to correctly pronounce the challenging names, words, and phrases which appear in this fascinating memoir."
"We are delighted," said Dr. Papazian, "that this book will now reach an even larger audience. This is the first time that I have learned that a book about the Armenian genocide and the Armenian immigration experience has been made available for the visually handicapped. I am certainly proud that this book has been chosen."
Copies of the printed version of Out of Turkey are available from the Armenian Research Center, 4901 Evergreen Road, Dearborn, MI 48128-1491 for fifteen dollars plus $2.50 postage.
