ADELAIDE, SEPTEMBER 9, NOYAN TAPAN. Last weekend, His Eminence
Archbishop Aghan Baliozian, Primate of the Diocese of the Armenian
Church of Australia and New Zealand made his biannual pastoral
visit to the Armenian Community of Adelaide. However, this was to
be markedly different from other visits with the first-ever event
of Armenian culture and identity to an Australian audience in the
capital of South Australia, which was also a commemoration event for
Australia's first international relief effort to help survivals of the
Armenian Genocide. The event was held at the Pilgrim Uniting Church
in Adelaide. It was organised by the Armenian Cultural Association of
South Australia Inc. (ACASA) and in his welcome address, President
of the Association, Mr Gevik Abedian remarked, "Tonight is truly
a dream-come-true for most of us in our community as we had always
been thinking of such an event where we could introduce Armenia and
Armenians, effectively ourselves, to our fellow Australians."
