ANC-New Jersey Commemoration Event
 RIDGEFIELD, N.J. (A.W.)—On April 24, the Armenian community
in New Jersey gathered at the St. Vartanantz Armenian Church
for the annual commemoration event, organized by the ANC of
NJ.
In her opening remarks, ANC of NJ chairperson Kim
Arzoumanian talked about the ever-intensifying efforts by
Turkish groups to challenge the Armenian-American
community’s efforts for genocide recognition.
The keynote speaker of the event was Armenian Weekly editor
Khatchig Mouradian, who delivered the message of the day. He
spoke about the role the new generation is playing in the
struggle against human rights violations and genocide.
The event also included presentations and performances by
the AYF, the Hovnanian school alumni, and the Nareg Saturday
School.
Father Hovnan Bozoyan concluded the evening with prayers. A
display of genocide paintings by artist Mher Khachatryan set
the somber mood at the church hall.
