WASHINGTON, D.C. – The Armenian Assembly of America (Assembly) mourns the passing of former Board Co-Chair and longtime Assembly Member Dr. Mihran Agbabian, who played a critically important role during the transformative years of the 1990s, with the Republic of Armenia’s Independence and the development of strong United States-Armenia relations.
“Dr. Mihran Agbabian’s spirit, character, and great sense of humor was inspiring to all who were fortunate to know him. His generosity, dedication, and commitment to the Armenian Assembly and preservation of our Armenian heritage knew no bounds. He was a humanitarian whose contributions touched the lives of so many people. Dr. Agbabian was a gem, admired and respected by all. The Armenian people benefited greatly from his interest and generosity as did the Assembly, and we are deeply grateful. His passing is a tremendous loss,” stated Assembly Co-Chairs Anthony Barsamian and Van Krikorian and Assembly President Carolyn Mugar.
“It was always such a pleasure to hear his ideas and comprehensive thinking. I loved working with him,” Mugar added.
