Mr. President: Honor Armenia’s Independence by Implementing Real Change

On September 21, 1991, the Armenian people collectively stood up to demand freedom from the Soviet Union. A resounding 99% of Armenia’s citizens voted for independence that day, reestablishing the republic whose foundation was laid down nearly seven decades earlier.

While we celebrate 20 years of Armenian statehood, we also recognize the many grave socio-economic injustices and political challenges still facing our young republic.

With President Sargsyan’s upcoming visit to Los Angeles this weekend, we offer this video message from newly elected AYF-WR Central Executive Chairperson, David Arakelyan.
