    The opening ceremony of Homenetmen Stockholm Club

    After several years of a club absence, finally Homenetmen Stockholm
    Chapter made a very vital decision by opening the Homenetmen Club in
    Stockholm, Sweden. There were almost 150 guests who came in order to
    witness and appreciate Homenetmens presence in Stockholm.

    Present were, the special guest of the day Mr. Hrach Maroutian who cut
    the ribbon during the opening ceremony as a faithful member of
    Homenetmen.

    The ceremony started with `Mer Hayrenik' anthem followed by the
    opening speech by Brother Hagop Mardirossian chairman of Homenetmen
    Stockholm chapter. Brother Mardirossian emphasized the importance of
    Homenetmens duty to the Armenian young generation to educate them with
    the spirit of the humble Armenian to give his outmost for the
    prosperity of the Armenian Community. The speech by the Homenetmen
    Sweden was presented by the chairman Brother Hagop Khatcherian who
    officely announced the name of the club which was specially dedicated
    to one of our `Fedayis' during the struggle war in Artsakh who was
    killed in 1993 Brother Shahen Meghryan. He spoke about the concern
    regarding our new generation which has the difficulty of speaking our
    language and promised that Homenetmen would do his outmost on
    educating them our language, religion and history.

    Our special guest Brother Hrach Maroutian expressed his gratitude
    towards the Homenetmen Stockholm Chapter members for their fantastic
    and hard work on creating the club which would serve not only for
    Homenetmen members but the whole Armenian community of Stockholm.

    Representative of Armenian National Committee of Scandinavia Suzanne
    Khardalian talked about the importance of Homenetmen in Sweden,
    specially for the youth to come closer in order to learn more about
    our land, language, culture, history and religion.

    Father Nerseh Khalatian Vice-vicar of the Armenian Apostolic Church of
    Scandinavia accompanied with the priest of Stockholm and Uppsala
    Father Norayr Gandjumian, expressed his gratitude towards Homenetmens
    faithful approach to our church and promised to do his outmost on
    giving the Armenian Churches role in Homenetmen by teaching about our
    religion to the youth and the adults by creating a fruitful
    cooperation.

    The ceremony was ended by `Harach Nahadag' which was followed by a
    reception and donations to Homenetmen Stockholm Chapter.
