Page 1 AGBU ARMENIA NEWSLETTER ISSUE 25, APRIL - MAY, 2013 CATHOLICOS KAREKIN II HONORS NAZAR AND ARTEMIS NAZARIAN FOR A LIFETIME OF SERVICE AND PHILANTHROPY Gala Evening at New York's Plaza Hotel Hosted by Eastern Diocese and AGBU "There are those who give with joy, and that joy is their reward." These prophetic words by legendary poet Kahlil Gibran might be considered the lifelong creed of Mr. and Mrs. Nazar and Artemis Nazarian. On May 10, close to 400 people attended a gala banquet in New York's famed Plaza Hotel, to bear witness as the visiting Catholicos of All Armenians, His Holiness Karekin II, per- sonally bestowed on the deserving couple the Knight of Holy Etchmiadzin Pontifical Medal - the highest honor of the Ar- menian Church. The event was sponsored by the Diocese of the Armenian Church of America (Eastern) and the Armenian General Be- nevolent Union (AGBU), and went forward under the aus- pices of Diocesan Primate Archbishop Khajag Barsamian and AGBU President Berge Setrakian. Among the dignitaries in attendance were Diocesan Legate in Washington, D.C. Archbishop Vicken Aykazian, Vice Prime Minister of Armenia Armen Gevorgyan, United Nations Se- curity Council Director Dr. Movses Abelian, Armenia's Am- bassador to the United States Tatoul Markarian, Armenia's Nazar and Artemis Nazarian with His Holiness Karekin II Ambassador to the United Nations Garen Nazarian, and Co-Chair of the Armenian Caucus in the U.S. House of Representatives Congressman Frank Pallone. Welcoming the enthusiastic guests, Nila Festekjian, Chair of the banquet committee, highlighted the significance of the evening by calling the Nazarians "a couple who we love, cherish, and respect." Master of Ceremonies Yervant Demirjian, AGBU's Treasurer, called it a "rare privilege" to have the Catholicos present. In his invocation, Archbishop Khajag Barsamian paid tribute to His Holiness, who "with a spirit of fatherly love and spiritual friendship has journeyed from Holy Etchmiadzin to share our joy tonight." The Primate extolled Nazar and Artemis Nazarian for their "lifetime of leadership and generosity," which has made the couple "shining examples of the Armenian Christian heritage at its best." He noted that "Nazar and Artemis are influential forces in the worldwide Armenian community, whose ethic of philanthropy has inspired our homeland to grow in the educational, cul- tural, national, and spiritual fields." SHARE AND GIVE In a heartfelt salutation to her parents, Seta Nazarian Albrecht shared the lessons she and her brother Le- von had learned through the years. Revealing a childhood memory of her mother's kindness, Mrs. Albrecht recalled Artemis Na- zarian's generosity to a stranger in a supermarket. "Lesson learned?" Seta asked, "We are blessed with many gifts. Share them." From her father, Nazar, who was always reading "everything in print, always looking for what was needed, and how he could help," Seta derived the lesson that "Our focus is not on our- selves, but on the needs of others." Concluding her message, Mrs. Albrecht encouraged "the fu- ture Artemises and Nazars" to "give of yourselves; give fi- nancial support when you can; give your time and give your skills. Stay connected to one another and your community." "If we do this," she added, "if we all follow my parents' ex- ample, our community, church and our culture will not only survive...we will thrive." A charming three-part video, produced by Ani Manoukian and Bryant Botero, presented lovely vignettes of the honor- ees' life together, as recounted by friends and members of the Nazarian family, including the couple's five grandchil- dren: William, Nicholas, Matthew, Daniela and Gregory.

Together, they have shown an unwav- ering commitment to Armenian communities around the world. Among their countless acts of benevolence are the AGBU Levon G. Nazarian Elementary School in Beirut; the AGBU Levon and Satenig Nazarian Fund; the AGBU Noubar Nazarian Building, housing the Armenian Embassy in Beirut; the Artemis Nazarian Preschool in Canoga Park, California; the AGBU Yerevan State Medical University Levon and Claudia Nazarian Radiology Center; and the new AGBU Center under construc- tion in Armenia. Additional beneficiaries of their generosity are the AGBU Yerevan Summer Internship Program, AGBU Camp Nubar, and countless AGBU academic scholarships. In a lifetime of good deeds, Nazar and Artemis have upheld the Armenian Christian virtues of charity, loyalty and faithful leadership, always loyal to the Mother See of Holy Etchmiadzin and generous benefactors of the Armenian Church.

In anticipation of the 1700th anniversary of Armenia's conversion to Christianity, they sponsored the construction of the Drtad Chapel of Yerevan's St. Gregory the Illuminator Cathedral.
