With profound sadness, we mourn the passing of Hachig Kazarian, a beloved musician whose clarinet became an unforgettable sound of the AYF Olympics and Armenian community celebrations.

Hachig began playing at the AYF Olympics in the 1950s, performing at his first Olympics more than 65 years ago. For decades, he was a cherished presence at the Grand Ball, where his powerful and nostalgic clarinet brought Armenian music to life. For generations of musicians, playing alongside Hachig was both a privilege and an honor.

In 2024, the AYF Central Executive had the honor of presenting Hachig with the AYF Olympics Lifetime Achievement Award, recognizing his decades of dedication to Armenian music and the AYF Olympics. Hachig’s music and legacy will continue to live on through the generations of musicians and AYFers he inspired.

Our heartfelt condolences go out to Hachig’s family, loved ones, and all those who had the privilege of knowing him and sharing in his music.

All-ASA is facing a growing internal rift over a reported plan to hold a private September 23 meeting with Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan in New York while characterizing the event as “apolitical.” The decision has reportedly drawn opposition from several campus Armenian Student Associations and prompted multiple board resignations, exposing significant tensions within the organization. Critics have also challenged the reported format, under which questions would be submitted in advance and students would have no access to a live microphone, arguing that it limits genuine, unscripted dialogue.

The timing has further fueled criticism, coming shortly after the third anniversary of the September 2023 displacement of 150,000 Armenians from Artsakh and days after Pashinyan said Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev “equally deserves” the Hessian Peace Prize.

Members of the ASA community and other critics are now calling on All-ASA leadership to explain who authorized the meeting, whether its member organizations were properly consulted, and why it is moving forward with an event that has already deepened divisions within its own network.
