Norway’s Public Television (NRK) broadcasts program devoted to the Armenian Genocide

YEREVAN, 30 JANUARY, ARMENPRESS. On January 28, Armenian American writer Chris Bohjalian visited friend of the Armenian people, great humanist Fridtjof Nansen’s granddaughter, Marit Grev in light of the release of the Norwegian version of his book “Sandcastle in Aleppo”, which is devoted to the Armenian Genocide.

As “Armenpress” reports, on the same day, Norway’s Public Television (NRK) broadcast a video report on Chris Bohjalian’s meeting with Marit Grev, during which the two talked about the Armenian Genocide. The NRK also showed the Nansen passport, mentioning that the program is about the meeting of two grandchildren who had established relations during the historic events of 1915. In the program, it is mentioned that Chris Bohjalian’s book “Sandcastle in Aleppo” is about his grandparents who survived the Armenian Genocide thanks to Fridtjof Nansen and that the meeting with Nansen’s family is a very important event for the writer. “All Armenians today are inheritors of the survivors. So, all Armenians having started new lives in Norway, France or the United States must be grateful to Fridtjof Nansen and the Nansen passports,” Chris Bohjalian says in the television program. Marit Grev mentions that she has visited Armenia and seen what Nansen means to the Armenians.
