2008 AGBU Plovdiv Student Soiree Attracts 100 Youth

On November 29, 2008, AGBU Plovdiv organized its thirteenth annual
Armenian Student Soiree, which was attended by a hundred people from
across Bulgaria, including members of YP Plovdiv. The event took place
at the Finesse Restaurant in Plovdiv, Bulgaria.

Present were Archpriest Der Kevork Khacheryan, Bulgarian National
Assembly Representative Dr. Roupen Krikorian, and AGBU Plovdiv leaders.

The program included music, dancing, games, a raffle and special
humorous awards, which brought a great deal of levity to the evening’s
activities. An annual tradition, the Plovdiv Student Soiree also
recognizes the importance of youth in the chapter’s activities, while
also handing out scholarships for well-deserving students. AGBU Plovdiv
chairman Roupen Chavoushian and Edouard Arsenian along with longtime
supporters of youth initiatives were invited to cut the ceremonial cake.

Organizers were particularly encouraged by the great turnout of students
from the neighboring cities of Haskovo, Dobrich, Kardjali, and Sliven.

Established in 1906, AGBU () is the world’s largest
non-profit Armenian organization. Headquartered in New York City, AGBU
preserves and promotes the Armenian identity and heritage through
educational, cultural and humanitarian programs, annually touching the
lives of some 400,000 Armenians on six continents.

Emil Lazarian: “I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
