    ANC-WR: LARRY ZARIAN'S LEGACY WILL CONTINUE TO SERVE GENERATIONS OF ARMENIANS

    PanARMENIAN.Net - The Armenian National Committee of America-Western
    Region, through its Board of Directors, local chapters, as well
    as all its members, mourns the passing of Larry Zarian, a true
    Armenian-American leader and advocate, and offers condolences to his
    family, friends and the entire Armenian-American community.

    Larry Zarian was the first Armenian-American to be elected to the
    Glendale City Council at a time when Glendale was a burgeoning haven
    for Armenians. During his 16 years on the Glendale City Council,
    where he also served as Mayor, Zarian was instrumental in leading
    the charge to make Glendale the jewel of Southern California. More
    important, he became an outspoken voice for Armenian-Americans and
    their aspirations in what was to become the largest concentration of
    Armenians outside Armenia.

    Zarian always led by example. His conduct and demeanor were worthy of
    praise, and his advocacy on behalf of the Armenian-American community
    was exemplary, ANC-WR said in a statement.

    He bridged long-time Glendale residents with the new Armenian
    population and as the influx expanded and grew, he became a critical
    conduit for advancing dialogue and creating positive change in Glendale
    community life.

    Zarian's active participation in civic life set the stage for others
    to follow and an become integral part of the city and beyond. The
    new crop of Armenian-Americans seeking public office always looked
    to Zarian for guidance and leadership.

    Especially commendable was his close working relationship with the
    ANCA-WR and its local Glendale Chapter, which honored him last year
    with the ANC-Glendale Leadership Award during its annual banquet.

    Throughout the years, he remained selfless in his efforts to advocate
    for the advancement of the Armenian Cause by assisting our organization
    on local, state, regional and national levels.

    His advocacy on behalf of all aspects of the Armenian Cause did not
    cease when his tenure ended at the Glendale City Council. In fact,
    he became an even more integral force in the community by mentoring
    future generations of Armenians and guiding them toward effective
    advocacy and public service all while remaining visible and active
    in community life.

    Zarian will be missed not only from the public stage, but also from
    the ANCA family. His legacy will undoubtedly continue to serve many
    generations of Armenians to come, ANC-WR said.
