UNITED NATIONS - The Permanent Mission to the United Nation, under the
guidance of Armenia's Ambassador there Karen Nazarian, hosted its
first annual `Armenians at the UN' event on May 26.
This was a team effort with long time UN employee Lucine Tegnazian,
who partnered up with new ARS Coordinator Houry Geudelekian, to bring
as many Armenians working at different UN entities or representing
NGO-s. At any given time, there are more than 70 Armenians around the
world who bear the title of UN employee or work/volunteer for the UN
Mission and are members of ECOSOC.
On May 26, Armenians gathered to celebrate their successes and to
share their unique knowledge of the workings of the UN. `We will
gather here in this mission every year to celebrate our successes, the
independence of Armenia and its future endeavors within UN entities
with its talented Armenian staff and volunteers,' said Ambassador
Karen Nazarian, Permanent Representative of the Republic of Armenia at
the United Nations.
Lucine Tegnazian said, `On behalf of the United Nations Armenians, we
greatly appreciate your hospitality, graciousness and warmth you
showed us. We all truly felt at home!' Former Ambassador Movses
Abelian, now director of Security Council Affairs Division, was also
at hand reminiscing about the history of the building and how it came
to be the Permanent Mission. `As a new member of this community, it
gives me such pleasure to be part of what we now are calling Armenians
at UN group',- said Houry Geudelekian, ARS, Inc. UN Activities
