[FAR Scholarships]: FAR Benefactor Jerar Nishanian Visits Armenia, Pledges More Support for Students. standard

For 20 years our homeland has been following its path of independent statehood. This is our opportunity to pass on to the next generation the values we have inherited from our forefathers and our ancestors’ efforts and hard work – creating, protecting and establishing a free and independent Armenia. In the course of that time, the diaspora’s role and importance has always been great. We saw this once again when FAR had the honor of meeting Mr. Jerar and Mrs. Anahit Nishanian, founders of the Jerar Nishanian Foundation Scholarship, along with the foundation’s board members Vicken Aykazian; Father Vertanes Kalayjian, Pastor of St. Mary Armenian Apostolic Church in Washington, DC.; and his wife Anahit Kalajian, during their recent visit to ...

I went to the Vernissage (an open air market where one can literally find anything you need), strolled down the streets of Yerevan and ended up in the open air cafes at the Opera. We also had the chance to meet Mrs. Hranush Hakobyan, the newly established Minister of Diaspora. Everyone was a little bit nervous, but we soon realized that Mrs. Hakobyan was very indeed not only very ...
