Asbarez
Tuesday, August 28th, 2012
The crisis in Syria and as a consequence, the perilous daily lives of
the Syrian Armenians have alarmed and deeply concerned the Armenian
community.
The historical record reminds us the past and present destiny
of nations; making assumptions on past history may lead us to
uncertainty and anxiety; and that is why we should move with practical
considerations, determination and a spirit of service.
The spiritual heads, and the leaders of the political and humanitarian
organizations in the Western U.S.A., as an alert guardians of the
community, came together to collectively bring together the "Syrian
Armenian Relief Fund Executive Committee" with the task of planning
activities and coordinating fundraising, and distributing funds as
needed to save lives, and to provide moral and emotional support for
our sisters and brothers living in difficult conditions across Syria,
and sustenance for their Armenian institutions.
The Syrian Armenian Relief Fund Executive Committee includes the
following organizations, their representatives and the roles that
they have accepted within the committee:
Armenian Evangelical Union of North America (AEUNA), Zaven Khanjian,
Chairperson; Armenian Relief Society of Western U.S.A. (ARS), Sona
Madarian, Secretary; Armenian General Benevolent Union (AGBU), Harry
Balian, Vice Chairperson; Western Prelacy of the Armenian Apostolic
Church of America, Meher Der Ohanessian, Treasurer; Catholicosate of
Cilicia, Central Executive Board, Khajag Dikijian; Western Diocese

Janoyan; Armenian Revolutionary Federation-Western U.S.A. (ARF),

The abovementioned Executive Committee members are committed to
do their outmost to reach out to community at large, to make the
impossible possible and to extend a helping hand for the sake of the
survival of the Syrian-Armenians.
The Executive Committee has also received the blessings of the Armenian
Apostolic Churches, His Eminence Archbishop Mousheg Mardirossian,
Prelate, and Archbishop Hovnan Derderian, Primate, as well as the
leaders of the Armenian Catholic and Evangelical churches, and has
already taken effective first steps.
