The banquet will be held at St. Leon Armenian Church, Abajian Hall, in Fair Lawn, N.J.
“We feel privileged to be part of a program in honor of a good friend, a patriotic Armenian and a man who has done so much for so many Armenian religious, cultural, and educational institutions. We owe Hirant a deep debt of gratitude for his boundless generosity towards Armenian causes. We are confident that many friends of Hirant will join us in our efforts and make the celebration a memorable one,” said Harry Toufayan.
For many years, Gulian served as chairman of the Knights of Vartan Times Square Armenian Genocide Commemoration Committee. And for many decades he dedicated and volunteered his efforts to the Diocese of the Armenian Church, the Armenian General Benevolent Union, Knights of Vartan, Hye Doon, Hovnanian School, and numerous other organizations of the metropolitan New York / New Jersey area. Gulian’s efforts have also benefitted the well-being of Armenia and Karabagh.
