Follow us on				August 2010 Support Agop Evereklian's Candidacy in the Next Federal Election The ANCT and Friends of Agop Evereklian are hosting a fundraiser for Mr. Agop Evereklian on Wednesday, August 11, 2010, at 7:30 pm, at the Armenian Youth Centre at 50 Hallcrown Place. Mr. Evereklian is a well-known individual who has contributed immensely to many issues of interest to multicultural communities. He is a Conservative Party candidate for the next federal election (date not yet determined), representing the riding of Pierrefonds-Dollard in Quebec. We believe he would be a great asset to the Canadian-Armenian community if elected and ask community members to attend the fundraiser and support his candidacy.

The International Court of Justice (ICJ) Ruled that Kosovo's Declaration of Independence "Did Not Violate International Law" The ICJ, the principal judicial organ of the United Nations, issued its Advisory Opinion on July 22, 2010, by a vote of 10 to 4. Bako Sahakian, the President of the Nagorno-Karabakh Republic (Artsakh) described the ICJ's ruling as an "important event that creates a new political situation" and vowed that his administration will continue the pursuit of international recognition for the Nagorno-Karabakh Republic. The Nagorno-Karabakh Republic Foreign Ministry issued a statement that the "decision has an extremely important legal, political and moral significance and sets a precedent that can not be confined to Kosovo". The Motherland party, the Democratic Party and the Armenian Revolutionary Federation of Artsakh also issued a similar statement. Subscribe to ANCT's Frequent Donor Program!
