With a message highlighting the imperative for a national agenda to
collectively elevate the Armenian Nation, a capacity crowd gathered at
the Glendale High School Auditorium to celebrate the 123rd anniversary
of the Armenian Revolutionary Federation (ARF).
The program featured a keynote speech by ARF Western US Central
Committee chairman Dr. Viken Hovsepian. He spoke about the challenges
of the past year and the shortcomings in their resolution. He touched
upon the issues of Armenia, Artsakh, the Syrian Armenians, the solution
of which requires the nation to flock around a common ideology.
Viken Hovsepian noted that the Armenian community of the West Coast
has considerably increased, while the community organizations have
not been active enough to turn the quantity into quality and the
words into deeds.
Our nation can do miracles when united around a common national agenda,
he said. The Armenian Revolutionary Federation urges all Armenians
to unite irrespective of party affiliation and promises to be on the
frontline of this unification.
There are about 100 thousand Armenian schoolchildren living in the
West Coast, but only 5 thousand get Armenian education. Bringing the
Armenian young people close to their roots and uniting them around
a national agenda is among the priorities of the ARF.
