AGBU President Berge Setrakian’s Global Message for April 24th and 115th Anniversary of the Organization
For 115 years, AGBU has consistently responded to the needs of Armenians across the globe, while serving the Armenian homeland through both painful and promising times. We mark this significant milestone as it coincides this month with Armenian Genocide Commemoration Day, reminding the world of one of the darkest hours in the history of humankind.
Both occasions have a more profound meaning this year as we emerge from a period of great devastation for the Armenian people one in which we witnessed similar human tragedies and sorrows from over a century ago.
