As many readers know by now, Edmond Azadian is the top leader of ADL-Ramgavar party’s Tekeyan Cultural Association Central Committee that unjustifiably shut down the bustling TCA Arshag Dikranian Armenian School in Los Angeles in 2014. Azadian and company liquidated its lucrative real-estate assets valued at around $15.5 million. Nobody knows of the money’s whereabouts.
Matthew 7:3 states in the Bible, “Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother’s eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye?”
Azadian of ADL and TCA has the moxy to criticize another culprit – Berge Setrakian of AGBU who has unjustifiably in 2005 shut down one of the finest educational centers in the Armenian Diaspora, Melkonian Educational Institute in Nicosia, Cyprus.
Azadian wrote about Setrakian’s AGBU: “Melkonian’s closure… resulted in two particularly damaging missteps. The European Union had designated Western Armenian as an endangered language; therefore, funds would be forthcoming for its preservation… the closure of Melkonian at that delicate moment served as a stab in the back (to the Armenian Diaspora). So much for the political prudence of the AGBU leadership. … (which) has not come up with a plausible explanation. … If the Patriarch (Moutafyan) were alive, it would be within his right to question the AGBU leadership about the whereabouts of the endowment fund and the use of its income. … But even worse, there is apparently a reversal of the educational mission and philosophy among the AGBU leadership, particularly in the mindset of its current president, my respected friend, Berge Setrakian.”
