Raffi Hovanessian was a true Armenian hero. He was a supporter of all things Armenian. I first met him in Armenia, 1992, when I was serving as Stste Minister. I was in the hospital and he visited me to review my medical records. I have not his wonderful parents in Jerusalem where I am born. May God keep him in Eternal Bliss.
My condolences to Shoghag and the Hovanessian family.
With Deepest Sympathy,
Knarik Meneshian
