Local ANC Profile: ANC of Tennessee
This regular column will take a closer look at the Hai Tahd activities taking place in communities within the ANCA Eastern Region by our volunteers.
We had the opportunity last week to speak with Bearj Barsoumian, the leader of ANC of Tennessee, and asked him to shed some insights on the local community and Hai Tahd work there. Though small in numbers, this community has been a steady contributor and asset to the ANCA Eastern Region for many years.

This concept is great. I’d like to plant another seed, that of Armenian Genocide education be presented in the public schools. It’s been started in Massachusetts and from where there can be some direction to start such a program. I hope this is something helpful that others are interested in doing/tackling…
I tip my hat to the ANC of Tennessee…Abreess
Having myself fashioned a personal T-shirt announcing the Genocide Centennial of April 24th, I am wondering what public observance thereof might I be able to find in the Knoxville area Friday. My t-shirt got some notice last Wednesday night when we had an observance of the Jewish Holocaust. When asked about my t-shirt, I explained that WWII was not in fact the first holocaust, whereupon shortly afterward I was delighted to read that Pope Francis had said as much (and much more!) in Rome, and then the European Parliament endorsed a resolution in recognition. Today I read that Germany and Austria have also just voted to recognize the Armenian Genocide and, most amazing of all! there is a peoples’ movement in Turkey itself which has just announced public marches in due recognition of the same. What are we in Tennessee doing to underline the brave efforts of these courageous souls?
