/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Armenian National Committee of NY Members attended
a special dinner in honor of City Council Candidate Paul Saryian at
Real Madrid Restaurant in State Island.
Paul Saryian is running in the 49th district of State Island in a
special Non-Partisan election coming to vote on February 24th. The
49th district is a central area in Staten Island bridging the gap
between Manhattan and Staten Island.
ANC-NY activist Dave Krikorian, who attended the night's event
with Raffi Mahserdjian, Chairman of the ANC-NY, said of the event,
"As Armenians we have a responsibility to our community at large to
support anyone who is willing to take on the immense responsibility
of public service."
Paul Saryian joined the NYPD in 1984 and would remain on the force
for 23 years and acheive the rank of Captain before retiring. Paul
has drawn most of his sense of civic duty, charity and community work
from his grandmother.
Mr. Saryian said in his speech, "My effort to bring about change is
partly due to my Grandmother's story, as a Survivor of the Armenian
Genocide and eventually making her way to NY, she has taught me the
true meaning of strength."
Raffi Mahserdjian of the ANC-NY said, "It is a great pleasure to
come out and see one of our extended community members working to
better our city for his community, Civic Duty is a great undertaking,
we commend and congratulate Paul on his run for office.
