    The 48th Armenian Revolutionary Federation Western US Regional
    Convention was held from June 21 to 24, 2012 in Montebello, California.

    With the participation of delegates from 19 local chapters from across
    the Western United States Region, including California, Arizona,
    Texas and Nevada, the ARF Shant Students Association and the Armenian
    Youth Federation, invited guests and advisers, the Regional Convention
    carefully assessed the activities of the ARF in the past two years
    and forged plans for the upcoming two years.

    The Convention discussed the current state of the Armenian-American
    community, assessed its needs and evaluated the potential challenges.

    Decisions were made about the priorities for the pursuit of the
    Armenian Cause-Hai Tahd-the expanding of resources for effective
    outreach to the community in order to expand the capabilities for
    achieving the national aspirations of the Armenian people, as well
    as prioritizing the youth as the future of the Armenian nation.

    Turkey's continued denial of the Armenian Genocide, as well as the
    issue of just reparations to the Armenian people were part of the
    core agenda of the Convention.

    The Convention also expressed its concern with the current realities
    facing the Homeland. Special attention was paid to the plight of
    Armenia's population, which faces grave socio-economic challenges;
    the insurmountable obstacles our people living in Javakhk have to
    confront on a daily basis and the heroic people of Artsakh, whose
    determination and will serve as a lesson to our entire nation.

    The 48th Western US Regional Convention also expressed its determined
    support to the men and women of Armenia's and Artsakh's border regions
    who, on daily basis, withstand the continued Azeri aggression against
    our borders. The Convention also highly commended and voiced its
    solidarity with the brave soldiers who unwaveringly defend our border
    against enemy aggression and bowed to the memory of the soldiers who
    lost their lives in recent weeks in the defense of our homeland.
