Armenian people have always been different from others. They are more conservative, their families are stronger and over the years they have always done their best to preserve their traditions and customs which make them unique.

To keep our essence of identity, authenticity, and uniqueness alive, we must preserve our language, our traditions and our religion alive and strong. This must not be just acknowledged but also spread around the community and around the world, of course.

One of the most important factors that keep any nation alive is the older generation. Elderly people play a big role in the life of Armenian community in California. They are the foundation of Armenian culture and traditions. They are the keepers of our customs. They are the ones who pass on that knowledge to the younger generation.

It is the responsibility of the younger generation to respect and take care of the older generation. They took care of us, they raised us and gave us the best Armenian upbringing possible. They are the real Armenian power and it is our responsibility to give them the best conditions to lead a calm and content life.
