CANCELED: Shish Kebab Night February 5, 2010 Sponsored by the St. Gregory’s Ladies Guild with special online guest speaker, Unger Jirayr Beugekian

CANCELED DUE TO A WINTER STORM WATCH IN EFFECT FROM FRIDAY AFTERNOON THROUGH SATURDAY EVENING.

Come to the Agoump for our monthly Shish Kebab night.  This month the Shish Kebab dinner is sponsored by the St. Gregory’s Ladies Guild.  Dinner will be served at 7:30pm.

There will also be a special online guest speaker, Unger Jirayr Beugekian, the Executive Director of the Armenian Relief Society.  This will be our second live lecture provided via the Internet.

Unger Jirayr will present the question, what can we do to assist the Armenians of Javakhk to stay in their ancestral lands?  Javakhk is  one of the poorest areas of the historic Armenian homeland.  With extremely difficult living conditions as a result of economic hardships faced by Georgia and also caused by a deliberate effort by the Georgian authorities for political ends, we are witnessing a repeat of Nakhichevan, a region which was emptied of its Armenian population.
