Jubilee Stamps Marking AGBU's Centennial Are Put Into Circulation in
Armenia
During AGBU's centennial in 2006, the Armenia's "Hai Post" postal
service, by order of the Ministry of Communications of the Republic of
Armenia, printed stamps in Armenia dedicated to AGBU. Upon the
initiative of the AGBU Armenia Representation and with the cooperation
of the Ministry of Communications of the Republic of Armenia, the sheet
of three stamps depicts the organization's founder and first president,
Boghos Nubar, the minutes of the founding meeting of the organization,
and a portrait of honorary life president of AGBU Alex Manoogian. To
mark AGBU's centennial in 2006, the Republic of Nagorno-Karabakh's
postal service also issued a stamp which depicted the statue of Alex
Manoogian located on his namesake street in the Karabakh capital of
Stepanakert.
In celebration of Christmas and the New Year, the AGBU Armenia
Representation sent out cards this season using the AGBU stamp. Cards
were sent out to the organization's president, members of the Central
Board of Directors, chapters, governmental agencies, and friends.
Established in 1906, AGBU (www.agbu.org) is the world's largest
non-profit Armenian organization. Headquartered in New York City, AGBU
preserves and promotes the Armenian identity and heritage through
educational, cultural and humanitarian program, annually touching the
lives of some 400,000 Armenians around the world.
