SYDNEY: Lebanon-based singer Hratch Gaydzagian entertained the 300 guests in attendance at the Armenian Revolutionary Federation's (ARF) 119th Anniversary dinner dance held at a Punchbowl reception venue on Saturday.

The political party, currently leading an international grassroots campaign of opposition to the Armenia-Turkey Protocols, showed its clout in Sydney with a celebration that touched on its key deeds of service to Armenians in Armenia and worldwide over the last 119 years.

In official proceedings, Armenian Youth Federation of Australia (AYF Australia) member Garine Kaprielian was MC, and introduced Aram Tufenkjian to deliver the AYF Australia address. The keynote speech was delivered by ARF Australia Tro Committee member Silva Tufenkjian, while Sako Kaprielian brought everyone to their feet with a rousing rendition of 'Anmar Mena'.

Then Gaydzagian, invited to Sydney for this event, delighted the audience until the early hours of Sunday morning.
