There may, indeed, be only few families in the world that have grown up and educated children who later became really famed in different spheres of science. The Orbeli family, with their sons Ruben, Levon and Hovsep, is one of them. The meeting of the representatives of the Armenian community in Tbilisi with the director of Tsaghkadzor house museum Marine Buniatyan and senior researcher Gerasim Mkrtchyan, held on October 4 of the current year in “Hayartun” Center at Armenian Diocese in Georgia, was devoted to the exploration of life and activities of the world famous scientists who were born and grown up in Abgar Orbeli and Varvara Arghutyan-Yerkayanabazouks family, the inhabitants of former Tbilisi Sololak district. They later received higher education in St. Petersburg and settled there.
