Mission Statement:
"There exists no Armenian 'race.' There is only an Armenian people, an Armenian nation. This is why we need to fight. The Armenian people in the diaspora are losing their identity as a cultural-national entity, succumbing to the centrifugal effects of cultural assimilation. If Armenians of the diaspora do not claim their right to live in their homeland they will gradually lose their common cultural identity. And if this happens, the white massacre of our nation will have succeeded."
-Monte Melkonian
There is no such thing as: The Armenian ‘Race’ or having Armenian Blood. Armenians have mixed with many people with different back rounds for thousands of years.
What makes us Armenian, is our Culture, our Traditions and our Values! This is why we must do our best to slow down the effects of cultural assimilation (pertaining especially to Armenians in America) and keep our Armenian identity alive. It is imperative that we study our language and our rich 3000-plus year history! We must learn as much as we can about our heritage and pass this information down to the next generation. We must also tear down the walls that keep our people separated. We must put our differences aside and UNITE! We hope our products will aid in preserving our language, history and Armenian identity; as well as help educate non-Armenians about Armenia’s rich culture and turbulent past.
One other thing we would like to say though is that we strongly support and promote dialogue between Turks and Armenians. Every race has its good and bad. Let us drop the racism and stereotypes. Keep in mind however, that the truth should never be negotiated; the Armenian genocide is a Historical Fact…. We ask you to forgive but never forget.
Celebrate your Armenian heritage and honor those who have sacrificed their lives for our homeland.

For the past decade the Monte Melkonian Fund has been aiding the neediest of Armenian children, those who have suffered displacement and loss due to economic collapse, war, and institutional disintegration. Many of these children are refugees. Many have suffered physical or psychological trauma. Some have lost one or both parents, and an increasing number of them have suffered injuries from landmines and other legacies of the conflict in Nagorno Karabagh.
