The Armenian Assembly of America extends its heartfelt thoughts and prayers to our Assembly family, friends, and supporters, and all impacted as Los Angeles faces its most destructive fires in its history, which has tragically resulted in casualties, injuries, and the loss of thousands of homes, schools, and businesses. The losses to the Armenian community and greater Los Angeles profoundly affect us all.
We extend our gratitude to all of the firefighters and first responders who are working day and night to respond to the immense fires in order to protect our communities. The Assembly stands with those affected.
