Los Angeles: During his weeklong stay in Los Angeles,

The minister and his entourage were first greeted at the school
entrance by the Board Chairman George K. Mandossian, Principal Vartkes
Kourouyan, ADL Western District Committee Chairman Hagop Nazarian,
members of faculty, members of the Student Council, and several
community leaders. The honorable guest was then led to the Principal’s
Office for a briefing about the Dickranian School as well as Armenian

Minister was also infirmed that four members of the School’s faculty
were of Lebanese-Armenian origin.

classrooms and mingling with students.

the Argentina’s Parliament. Located at 1200 North Cahuenga Blvd., Los
Angeles, the TCA Arshag Dickranian Armenian School is a federally tax
exempt Pre-K to 12th grade private educational institution. For more
