November 2007	In November DDH was a guest at the TAIPEI POETRY FESTIVAL in Taiwan where she read from her own work and also lectured on Armenian poetry, its history, influences and major poets. As she spoke, the walls behind her were lit by projections of translations into Chinese.  During her Armenian talk about Armenian poetry, the poems of Varoujan, Charents, Frik, Koutchag, as well as contemporary writers were also projected in translation as well as photos taken by Armin Wagner, the German photographer who was in Turkey during the genocide of the Armenians.
October 2007	Diana Der-Hovanessian returned recently from Yerevan, Armenia, where she gave a talk, Waking Up to Being Armenian, at the ARMENIAN WRITERS UNION conference series on “The Hyphenated Society.” While there, she was honored by the Armenian Minister of Culture, Hasmig Boghosian, with a gold medal for her years as translator and advocate for Armenian culture.
