The presentation of the book “Vladimir Pozner: My Heart is on the Armenian Side. I Would Like to Interview Leonardo da Vinci" by Professor Sergo Yeristyan was held on April 22. The event was attended by the professor's colleagues, students, friends and intellectuals who think the new book by the experienced journalist, educator and literary critic speaks of his high level of professionalism.
Sergo Yeritsyan wrote the book in the last years of his life, using the materials at hand. The book was published in 2022. During one of his meetings with Vladimir Pozner, (a famous Russian television and radio commentator) in Yerevan, Yeristyan had told Pozner that he was going to compile [in a book] the Russian journalist’s interviews with Armenian guests and his thoughts about journalism.
The book is intended both for ordinary readers and representatives of the field of journalism, as Yeritsyan aimed to develop [through the book] the genre of interview based on Pazner’s theory.
The book also gives an idea about Pozner’s pro-Armenian stance, which began since his marriage to Valentina Chemberdzhi, a relative of Alexander Spendiaryan, a famous Armenian composer.
During the presentation, the speakers highly appreciated the important work done by Sergo Yeritsyan, saying the book stands out thanks to its modernity and unique combination of materials. They believe that the book will find its readers, particularly among future journalists as the interviews of the renowned journalist [Vladimir Pozner] will be a real master class for them.
Sergo Yeritsyan, Professor of the Chair of TV Journalism of Armenian State Pedagogical University, Doctor of Sciences in Philology, is the author of numerous books, professional manuals, scientific publications, monographs, professional dictionaries, handbooks and TV programs. Yeritsyan died on 23 June, 2023, at the age of 66.
