The young and devoted teachers introduced the schoolchildren and their parents to the main provisions and principles of the School and assured that they would do everything possible to make the lessons interesting and effective.

WASHINGTON, DC – Building on the momentum of last week’s grassroots campaign to members of the U.S. Senate and House, the Armenian National Committee of America (ANCA) is expanding the Armenian American community’s efforts against the flawed “Madrid Principles” to include targeted calls upon the White House for a more balanced and sustainable approach to ensuring a lasting peace for Nagorno Karabakh (Artsakh).
