In light of the keen interest shown by the Belgian-Armenian community in the humanitarian activities of the ARS worldwide, a decision was reached and implemented on Oct. 16 on the premises of the Brussels “Armenian Home” to found a local ARS entity: the»ARS/Belgium At-large Chapter.

Marachelian and Avakian warmly welcomed the 26 initiates and gave a concise presentation of the ARS’s history, structure, mission, and ongoing programs. Following the presentation, the members immediately convened and elected their seven-member executive, and discussed the initial organizational steps to be taken.

“We can, with great pride, state that the ARS, as an independent, all-Armenian humanitarian organization, extends its far-reaching support whenever and wherever our people’s physical, social, and cultural needs require aid and assistance,” said Marachelian. “Today, the worldwide ARS family demonstrates once more that our Society, after over a century of service, retains its vigor and youthful optimism, as it did in the past, never losing sight of a vision of an always-brighter future, maintained by a rejuvenating approach of adapting to ever-changing conditions and putting to use all available possibilities and opportunities of the 21st»century.”

The ARS Central Executive Board representatives also participated in events by the European Parliament promoting the Artsakh Republic, and met with Speaker Ashot Ghulyan, European Union (EU) Parliamentarians Elenie Theokharous and Frank Engel, and members of the EU-Armenia Friendship Group.

Ashot Ghulyan, speaker of the Karabagh National Assembly, meets with representatives of the ARS, ANC of Belgium, Hamazkayin, Homenetmen, and AYF, as well as author Anna Astvatsaturian Turcotte, at the ‘Hay Tad’ office in Brussels.
