    ADL'S PAPKEN MEGERIAN RECEIVES AWARD FROM PRESIDENT OF ARMENIA

    COMMUNITY | OCTOBER 1, 2013 5:18 PM

    YEREVAN - Since Armenia's independence, it has become a tradition for
    the president of the republic to hand out honors on the anniversary
    of independence to individuals in Armenia and the diaspora who are
    outstanding in their fields.

    This year among the honorees singled out by President Serge Sargisian
    on September 21, at a ceremony in the presidential residence, was
    Papken Megerian, co-chair of the Armenian Democratic Liberal (ADL)
    party District Committee of Eastern US and Canada and member of the
    Central Board of the Tekeyan Cultural Association of the US and Canada.

    Megerian and his wife are cofounders of the Papken and Anahid Megerian
    Family Foundation, which supports causes in the US, Armenia, Artsakh,
    Echmiadzin, the Armenian Patriarchate of Jerusalem, the Diocesan Center
    in Javakhk, Georgia and Our Lady of Armenia Boghossian Educational
    Center in Gumri. He is also a contributor to the international
    children's anophthalmia/ microphtalmia network, the Philadelphia Art
    Museum and the Armenian Mirror-Spectator, an ADL publication.

    Among other diasporan activists who received medals this year were
    Armenia Tree Project President Carolyn Mugar, physician Ernest
    Barsamian (Mkhitar Heratsi Medal), Armenia Marriott hotel co owner
    Nishan Atinizian (Anania Shiragatsi Medal) and Jirayr Tanielian (Movses
    Khorenatsi Medal), the editor of Kamar literary monthly in Lebanon.
