Armenian Genocide Survivor and Longtime ANCA Activist Passes Away
Los Angeles, CA - Ghazaros Kademian, a longtime ANCA supporter and one of the oldest remaining survivors of the Armenian Genocide passed away on January 24, 2009 at his home in Glendale, California. Kademian, who was born in the historic city of Zeitoun in 1907, lived a life full of faith and dedication.
Over the past several years he had become a regular attendee at community events organized by the Armenian National Committee, the Armenian Youth Federation and Homenetmen.
"Sadly, this past weekend our beloved Ghazaros was called home," stated Armenian National Committee Western Region (ANC-WR) Chairman Vicken Sonentz-Papazian. "The story of the Armenian nation in the 20th and 21st century is encapsulated in the tragedy, struggle and rebirth of Ghazaros Kademian. While we bid farewell to our dear friend and colleague we are inspired by his indomitable will and remain forever indebted to the countless sacrifices he made in securing our future," he added.
At the 2007 ANC-WR Annual Banquet Mr. Kademian was saluted by U.S. Senator Robert Menendez, who hailed him as a symbol of the Armenian will to survive and persevere. Mr. Kademian attended many Armenian Youth Federation (AYF) events including the annual protests at the Turkish Consulate on April 24th as well as a hunger strike "Fast for Remembrance" in January of 2006.
