for the 39th Parliament was established at a meeting in the House
of Commons on June 14. House of Commons and Canadian Senate members
were invited by MP Gary Goodyear (Conservative-Cambridge) to attend
the founding meeting and elect a new executive for CAPF. So far 32
members of Parliament and Senators have joined CAPF.
In his opening remarks Goodyear thanked MPs and Senators and said:
"Your presence demonstrates your support for the positive relationship
that exists between Armenia and Canada. As you know, our Prime
Minister recently officially recognized the Armenian Genocide of
1915 in Parliament. We believe that this was a positive step toward
healing the wounds of the past and paving the road for a peaceful
and prosperous relationship between Canada and Armenia."
Arman Agopian, the Charge d' affairs of the Embassy of Armenia, thanked
the Canadian parliamentarians for their support and commitment to
foster and enhance strong and positive bilateral relationship between
Canada and Armenia. CAPF new president invited Aris Babikian, executive
director of the Armenian National Committee of Canada (ANCC), to
relay the message of the Canadian-Armenian Community, reported Yerkir.
