    30 New Members Join ARF Ranks

    Saturday, June 14th, 2014

    30 joined the ARF ranks on Friday

    MONTEBELLO--Thirty novices took an oath on Friday evening to join the
    ranks of the Armenian Revolutionary Federation during a solemn
    ceremony attended by ARF members from throughout the Western United
    States.

    Officiating the oath ceremony was veteran ARF member and community
    activist Tirgan Sarkouni, who welcomed the novices, who had completed
    a special indoctrination program that spanned over several months.

    The mostly young new members were also welcomed to the ranks by ARF
    Western US Central Committee Chairman Dr. Viken Hovsepian who called
    on the new members to heed the call of the ARF and join in the just
    pursuit of the Armenian Cause and elevate the national aspirations of
    the Armenian Nation.

    Also speaking at the ceremony was ARF Bureau member Hagop
    Der-Khachadourian, who told the new members that they were now party
    of a national movement to preserves the ideals of the Armenian Nation.

    The oath ceremony preceded a community-wide celebration of the the
    96th anniversary of Armenia's Independence being held at the
    Baghramian Hall and on the sidelines of the ARF Regional Convention,
    which began Thursday evening.
