There is a bipartisan majority in the #US Congress for sanctions on the #ICC, and it appears the #Biden administration will be supporting the measures. https://t.co/TndvlFXo3m

Watertown, Mass.—The Armenian National Committee of America Eastern Region (ANCA-ER) Endowment Fund is pleased to announce that its 18th Annual Gala will take place on Saturday, October 19, 2024, in Queens, New York at the Terrace on the Park (52-11 111th Street, Queens, New York). The host committee, led by ANC of New York chair Chantelle Nasri, is organizing this year’s gala, which serves as an annual fundraiser for the ANCA-ER Endowment Fund. 

This year’s gala will include a cocktail reception, curated silent auction with one-of-a-kind items from the homeland, as well as a seated dinner and awards program to mark the region’s accomplishments and honor those who have worked tirelessly for the Armenian Cause. Honorees will include the recipients of the prestigious ANCA Eastern Region Freedom Award and the ANCA Eastern Region Vahan Cardashian Award, among others. 

The ANCA Eastern Region Endowment Fund is a 501(c)(3) charitable and educational organization that supports the ANCA Eastern Region’s outreach to 35 ANCs that support Armenian American communities in the 31 states that comprise the region. It is the dedication and contributions of gala supporters that have allowed the ANCA Eastern Region to continue its work – advancing the Armenian Cause on the local, state and federal levels for decades.

Today, the need for grassroots advocacy in support of Armenian-American issues is more vital than ever before. With the generosity and support of the region’s Hai Tahd supporters and activists, the 18th annual gala will afford the region the opportunity to continue its impactful work.

“Mark your calendars for the 18th annual ANCA Eastern Region Endowment Fund’s gala. We’re honored to be hosting this year’s gala and look forward to welcoming the region’s activists and supporters to New York this October. Not only will we recognize the hard work and dedication of the region’s activists and those who have worked tirelessly for the Armenian Cause, we will also play an integral role in raising necessary funds to continue this critical work,” said gala chair Chantelle Nasri.

Speaking to journalists today, May 21, German Ambassador to Georgia Peter Fischer said that if the foreign agents law is adopted in its current form, Germany will not vote in favor of opening EU accession negotiations with Georgia. Ambassador Fischer noted that the European Council will decide unanimously, as it usually does in other cases, whether or not to open accession negotiations with Georgia. “All states must say yes, and I can tell you for Germany: we will not say yes if this law is passed as it stands,” the Ambassador said.

The Ambassador emphasized that all EU candidate countries must meet a certain standard in order to continue on their path towards the EU. Recalling the joint statement by German Chancellor Olaf Scholz and French President Emmanuel Macron, Ambassador Fischer said: “In our understanding, Georgia has already deviated from its European path” adding that the Foreign Agents Law puts the country below the minimum standard for further advancement on its EU path.

Ambassador Fischer declined to explain on why the Georgian government is certain that EU accession negotiations can be opened for Georgia if the foreign agents’ law is adopted saying, “I think it is for the Georgian people to decide what they think is the right explanation.”
