Hacop and Hilda Baghdassarians (right) meet with President of the
Nagorno-Karabakh Republic Bako Sahakian
SHUSI, STEPANAKERT-Los Angeles-based benefactors Hacop and Hilda
Baghdassarians donated homes to several families in Shushi as part
of their annual contributions to the development of the city.
Every year, the couple visits the Nagorno-Karabakh Republic and for
the past several years has been working to enhance and improve the
life of residents in Shushi.
The Baghdassarians also met with Nagorno-Karabakh Republic President
Bako Sahakian. They discussed the implementation of several projects
in Artsakh.
President Sahakian expressed his and the people of Karabakh's gratitude
to the benefactors for their decades of service and contribution to
the advancement of Artsakh.
Karabakh Presidential Adviser Grigory Gabrielyants and other officials
also attended and participated in the meeting.
For over four decades, Baghdassarian has worked tirelessly to make
his businesses successful - his motivations always being providing
for his family as well as contributing to the Armenian community to
the best of his ability.
Currently, Baghdassarian serves on the board of the Armenian Education
Foundation and works with several Armenian charities including
Homenetmen, the Armenian Relief Society, and the Armenian Eye Care
Project, among a number of other community organizations. Although he
has no formal training in construction or engineering, Baghdassarian
often travels to the rural villages in Armenia to review plans
for the renovation of dilapidated elementary schools. To date,
Baghdassarian has been responsible for the construction or renovation
of several schools in Armenia, Nagorno-Karabakh and Javakhk. In 2005,
Baghdassarian's philanthropy and dedication were officially recognized
when he received the Yerakhtagitutiun Award from the then President
of Nagorno-Karabakh Republic Arkady Ghoukasian. In December 2006,
Baghdassarian was honored by the Armenian Education Foundation and
named its Most Valuable Member. In March 2010, he was honored by the
Armenian Relief Society's "Javakhk Fund" Committee for his work raising
contributions supporting many worthy projects including the sponsorship
of the renovations of eight schools. In 2010, His Holiness Catholicos
Aram I of the Great House of Cilicia bestowed upon Baghdassarian the
Knight of Cilicia Medal.
The central tenets in Baghdassarian's life are his family, abiding
faith, and dedication to the Armenian American community. Now
approaching the second half of his life, Baghdassarian's greatest
joy is taking time out of his busy schedule to play with his four
grandchildren - Anthony, Michael, John and George.
