AGBU, ARMENIAN ASSEMBLY WELCOME NEW CONSUL GENERAL OF ARMENIA TO
LOS ANGELES
Los Angeles, CA - In a joint event held at the Pasadena Armenian General
Benevolent Union (AGBU) Alex Manoogian Center, the Armenian Assembly of
America (Assembly) and the AGBU Southern California District Committee
(SCDC) welcomed the new Consul General of Armenia, Mr. Grigor
Hovhannisyan. AGBU-SCDC President, Berj Shabazian, and Armenian
Assembly Western Region Director, Yeghig Keshishian, were in attendance
to welcome the guests on behalf of both organizations.
Over one hundred of the most active members from both the AGBU and the
Assembly were present to meet the Consul General and listen to his
remarks. "The Assembly is pleased to welcome the new Consul General of
Armenia, and we are confident the enthusiasm and work experience that
Mr. Hovhannisyan brings will greatly assist in tackling some of the
issues affecting the Armenian-American community in the U.S.," stated
Keshishian.
He added, "Through our continued partnerships with other community
organizations and the relationships we have fostered by working closely
with the capable staff at the Consul General's office in Los Angeles, I
am confident the Assembly will be able to strengthen our presence in
California and stay focused on the work that lies ahead." In addition
to our political efforts, the Western Region office coordinates outreach
strategy with community leaders to enhance the image of the Armenian
community through various events and community forums designed to raise
awareness of local issues affecting Armenian-Americans.
Established in 1972, the Armenian Assembly of America is the largest
