    The Armenian Nation is an idea that transcends borders

    Dear Friends and Colleagues,

    I would like to bring to your attention the below YouTube link of the Hon.

    Association in Toronto on Nov. 22, 2014.

    The Canadian-Armenian community is privileged and fortunate to call a
    principled and brave leader such as the Hon. Jason Kenney a friend of our
    community.

    The Launch of the Armenian Canadian Conservative Association in Toronto on
    Nov. 22, 2014

    Published on Dec 20, 2014


    `The Armenian Nation is not just the four-million people living within the
    borders of the Republic of Armenia. The Armenian Nation is an idea that
    transcends borders. The Armenian Nation is a spirit of tenacity, of
    survival, of overcoming adversity, of fidelity-- fidelity to your faith and
    to your ancestors.

    `To be Armenian throughout history has meant to make a choice. To make a
    choice to overcome very often waves of persecution and violence and
    dislocation, but to maintain that fidelity at an incredibly high price.

    `To be Armenian means never to forget. Not just 1915 but never to forget
    that yours was the first Christian Nation. Never to forget what that meant
    during all of those years in Anatolia, in the Middle East, and in the
    world-wide Diaspora."

    Hon. Jason Kenney, Canada's Minister of Employment and Social Development
    and Minister for Multiculturalism, during his keynote speech at the launch
    of the Armenian Canadian Conservative Association in Toronto on Nov. 22,
    2014.
