Abraham Kulajian Commissioner for Diaspora Affairs, Republic of Armenia to Brazil Avenida Das Americas, 13721, Sala 0214 Sala 0215 22790-701 Rio de Janeiro abraham.kulajian@investsmart.com.br http://diaspora.gov.am/en/persons/425 About us As economics and geopolitics are inherently interconnected, understanding the asset and investment industry, from allocation strategies to advisory becomes essential. This knowledge transcends markets; it influences every aspect of life. The concept of planting and sowing is central to my professional philosophy. I believe that results come from consistent effort, long-term vision, and ethical foundations. For me, the quality of work, integrity, and truthfulness in service and relationships are not just values they are non-negotiable principles. Challenges, competition, and success — they can only be embraced through consistent learning, continuous growth, and a commitment to facilitating progress. Previous Next

Gregory Ayriyan Violinist & Composer, Filmmaker Johnston, RI gregory.ayriyan@gmail.com https://gregoryayriyan.wordpress.com/ About us I’m an Awards winning violinist, composer, arranger, orchestrator and educator. I graduated conservatory in 1987 following 11 years at a school for musically gifted children, which I attended from 7 years of age. My degree is in virtuoso violin and pedagogy. My 2nd instrument was piano and if venue has an instrument I’m happy to play both, but my experience and expertise is in solo virtuoso violin. Recently I self taught myself viola, as a student needed tangible compassion. Especially in the last year I have received several awards, some competitions were for professional from all over the globe, others more local. I’m proud to be a recipient of a bronze medal at global music awards two times over and clouzine music competition, amongst several others. I write my own arrangements if the customer requests a special song and have my own approach to other compositions. Most quotes include 2 to 3 arrangements as needed, if not yet in my repertoire. I play several genres, including classical and jazz, certain ethnic music and some popular too (rest I arrange as needed). If you don’t need arrangements, I am happy to include a composition as a personal touch:). I mostly compose in modern classical or modern jazz genres. I have an extensive resume and used to work with symphony orchestras and chamber orchestras on international stage. In the past, overseas, I had founded my own trio and quartet, which I lead from 2007-2019, when I moved back to United States. I’m 3rd generation musician in my family. My later Dad was a kemancha player, which is an ancient Armenian (middle eastern) instrument. I have over 3.5 decades of professional experience on and off stage at times sharing it with world renowned composers and musicians such as Vladimir Cosma and Late Dmitry Hvorostovsky. Music is my passion, it is my profession, it is a universal language. Music is how I earn a living, but it is also what helps me communicate, celebrate, commemorate, brighten days of others, at times to respect others and of course to feed, house and cloth my family. Others have described me as knowledgeable, responsible, reliable, detail oriented, diligent and professional. I also offer phone or virtual event services and repertoire consultations. Such services maybe a great way to celebrate those who are immunocompromised, far or home/nursing facility bound. My significant other helps me respond, I do the phone repertoire consultation, write arrangements and perform day of the day of the event. Previous Next

Armenian Apostolic Church of St. Gregory the Illuminator Singapore 60 Hill Street 17936 Singapore singapore@armeniansinasia.org https://www.armeniansinasia.org/ About us The Armenian Apostolic Church of St. Gregory the Illuminator is the first Christian church built in Singapore in 1835. Designed by Irish architect, George D. Coleman, it is considered as one of his masterpieces. As the number of Armenian families was growing in the early 1830s due to business prospects in Southeast Asia, a place of worship was deemed necessary. In 1833, the land was acquired from the government of the time. A majority of the funds required for construction was raised by Singapore Armenians, as well as Armenians of Calcutta and Java. On 26 March 1836, the church was consecrated and dedicated to St. Gregory the Illuminator, the patron saint and the first official head of the Armenian Apostolic Church. The Church was gazetted as a National Monument by the Singapore's National Heritage Board on 06 July 1973. This spiritual place serves as a tribute to the once influential Armenian community of Singapore. They were lawyers, merchants, and entrepreneurs. Famous among them were the Sarkies Brothers who built and managed the Raffles Hotel, Agnes Joaquim who hybridised the orchid Vanda ‘Miss Joaquim’ (named as Singapore’s national flower), and Catchick Moses who founded the Strait Times.

Society for Orphaned Armenian Relief (SOAR) Austria Chapter Araksya Sarukhanyan, President Vienna vienna@soar-us.org https://www.soar-us.org/vienna/ About us Vienna joined the SOAR family in May 2018. The history of Armenians in Austria dates back to Vienna’s liberation from the Turkish siege at the end of the 17th century, when several Armenian merchants found a new market in the Habsburg Empire. In the beginning of the 19th century, Austrian Armenians enjoyed their status as an autonomous religious community. The Armenian community in Vienna grew constantly, so that by 1896 the first efforts were made to found an Armenian-Apostolic community. After the appointment of the first Armenian pastor in Vienna in the 1920s, the number of Armenians in Austria continued to grow, boosted by refugees from Lebanon, Syria, Iraq, Iran, Turkey and, most recently, the Republic of Armenia. In 1968, the Soorp Hripsime Armenian Apostolic Church of Vienna was consecrated, giving a new impetus to the ever growing Armenian community in Austria. There are approximately 3,000 Armenians in Vienna today. Previous Next
