A historic event will take place on Nov. 22, 2010, when the President of the Republic of Karabagh, Bako Sahakian, will be honored and recognized with a proclamation and the Key to the City by the Montebello City Council.

The City of Montebello is a sister city with the City of Stepanakert and both have been active sister partners for over six years. It has proven to be a fruitful and rewarding relationship.
"This is an occasion that is truly momentous for our community," said Nazareth Sadorian, the chairman of the Armenian Cultural Foundation, Montebello Chapter. "The Armenian community is urged to attend this unprecedented event and show our support for the President of the Free Republic of Artsakh as well as the Montebello City officials."

Council meeting takes place in City Hall at 1600 W Beverly Blvd. and begins at 7:00 PM sharp.

After the ceremony, the San Gabriel Valley ANC will host a reception welcoming the President at the Montebello Armenian Center, 420 W Washington Blvd.


Please try to attend and tell your friend.
We would like to fill City Council chambers with a large crowd of Armenia...

Dear Friends:

On April 1, 2011, the State of California will be placing freeway signs that say "Armenian Genocide Martyrs Monument" along the 60 freeway near the
Garfield/Wilcox exits in the City of Montebello. This will be the first time that the words "Armenian Genocide" are permanently inscribed on United States soil. The Monument sits at the top of Bicknell Park in the City of
Montebello and is the first and only monument dedicated to our ancestors on public land outside Armenia.

On April 1 at the Armenian Genocide Martyrs Monument at Bicknell Park in Montebello we will have a sign unveiling at 11am to 1pm with a reception following immediately after at the Monument.

The Monument will become a historical landmark in 2015, ironically 100 years after the first genocide of the 20th century.

This year’s April 23rd Vigil will feature;
