The Armenian Revolutionary Federation’s West San Fernando Valley Rosdom Gomideh announced a donation of $100,000 by long-time benefactor Dr. Mike Sarian.

The ARF Rosdom Gomideh said that the donation will fund the construction of a steel courtyard at 5300 White Oak Avenue in Encino, which houses the Holy Martyrs Armenian Church and the Ferrahian Armenian High School campus. The courtyard construction was a project planned by the ARF Rosdom Gomideh to facilitate the compound.

After announcing Dr. Sarian’s generous contribution, the ARF Rosdom Gomideh announced that the courtyard will be named the “Khatoun Sarian ARF Rosdom Gomideh Courtyard.”

“This project to cover the courtyard has been a dream that will soon come true. The courtyard will be used by all sister organizations and the Holy Martyrs Church for upcoming events and a place where our youth and community members may gather and and enjoy outdoors events. Thank you Dr. Mike Sarian,” the ARF Rosdom Gomideh said in a Facebook post on Wednesday.

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
