The gathering in Providence took place on at the Stephen J. Varadian ANC Center. Unger Manoyan was welcomed to Providence by gomideh chairman Hagop Donoyan. Ungers from Providence and Boston attended the special gathering to hear remarks from a member of the party’s leadership.
Manoyan provided a detailed account of current affairs in Armenia and Artsakh. He also spoke of the party’s platform in Parliament and its relationship with the Armenian government.
