vast activities of the Armenian Relief Society. Considering the role
played by the Society in Armenia, Artsakh, Javakhk, and the constantly
reshaping Armenian Diaspora, I firmly believe that we must proudly
support the existence of our century old international organization
by expanding our horizons, while further developing our capacities to
keep pace with a fast-changing world. Moreover, we should keep active
in our cooperation with United Nations agencies and NGOS in all 27
countries where we have ARS affiliates," said Demirdjian-Attarian.
