SAN FRANCISCO-The San Francisco AYF "Rosdom" Chapter organized an event
on June 10 honoring the freedom fighters who fought during the Artsakh
liberation movement. More than 150 community members attended the
program, which took place at Vasbourgan Hall following church services.
Vana Andonian, Secretary for the Rosdom Chapter, served as Mistress
of Ceremonies and welcomed guests to the event. St. Gregory Armenian
Church Pastor, Archpriest Khoren Habeshian, welcomed guests,
congratulated the AYF for their efforts and opened the event with
a prayer.
The AYF then held a video presentation explaining the importance of
the recently launched "With Our Soldiers (WOS)" campaign. Donations
were collected throughout the event as part of the campaign's efforts
to assist veterans of the war with necessary medical treatments.
"We are truly indebted to the Azadamardik's that went to the frontline
and fought so that we have a free and independent Armenia and Artsakh,"
stated Raffi Senekeremian, Chairman of the San Francisco AYF. "We
are very thankful to all those that came to the event to support our
soldiers and helped us raise money for such a great cause."
ARF San Francisco "Krisdapor" Gomideh Chairman, Mr. Hrayr Sarkissian,
congratulated the AYF on taking on such an important task and spoke
about how several San Francisco community members fought on the
frontline during the war.
AYF Western Region Chairman, David Arakelyan, was also on hand and
spoke on behalf of the Central Executive. "The time has come for us
as a community to lead the way and lend moral, medical and financial
support to those who played an instrumental role in the Artsakh
liberation struggle," he asserted.
