work the Tekeyan Cultural Association carries out in the promotion of
Armenian culture is significant. Organizations like Tekeyan are

creative expression. I hope to be able to help the organization expand
its cultural activities and to continue its fine tradition of
supporting Armenian schools. I also am very happy to be able to
contribute to the Armenian Mirror-Spectator," he said. "I look forward
to working with Tekeyan members and others in the Armenian community,
and hearing their ideas about future activities."
