Local elected officials celebrated the 20th anniversary of the
independence of the Republic of Armenia Sunday.

Glendale Mayor Laura Friedman and council members Frank Quintero
and Ara Najarian joined thousands of attendees at the Nor Serount
Cultural Assoication’s annual Armenian Independence Day Festival at
Verdugo Park.

The event featured Armenian-American singers, dancers, musicians
and vendors, including the California Armenian American Democrats,
a group that encourages the community to get involved in politics
and civic issues.

Harut Der-Tavitian, the association’s chairman, said the event has
grown since it started in 1999.

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
