The premier of “A Suitcase to Home”, a documentary feature that won the Deauville Green Award.

The film takes us through the struggles and persecutions of the Armenian people, focusing on the most recent events of the 44-day Artsakh War, the blockade of the Lachin Corridor, and the forced displacement of more than 120,000 Armenians from Artsakh in September of 2023.

The film showcases the strength and resilience of the Armenian people throughout these adversities and brings hope that they will one day return to their beloved Artsakh and continue to thrive and prosper.

Produced by the Society for Orphaned Armenian Relief (SOAR) and Andrew Simonian.

*** HELP US BRING AWARENESS! ***
Tomorrow, June 21, 2025, UFC will mark a historic milestone by hosting UFC on ABC: Hill vs. Rountree Jr. in Baku, Azerbaijan. We recognize this as a proud moment for the sport, and for a city with such rich heritage and global significance.

Yet, as this celebration unfolds, we feel a moral duty to raise a deeply human concern linked to that same city.

As of this writing, 23 Armenian prisoners remain unjustly detained in Baku, with 16 currently facing trials described by international legal experts as arbitrary, politically motivated, and lacking basic due process.

These are not combatants or criminals; they are civilians trapped by conflict and circumstance. Remarkably, many of them are passionate fans of the UFC—and of combat sports in general. In their isolation, the strength, dignity, and discipline embodied in this sport offer them something profoundly meaningful.

SOAR has reached out to many of the prominent figures of this event, including: Bruce Buffer, Linda McMahon, Dana White, Paul Felder, Michael Bisping,
Brandon Fitzgerald, Joe Rogan, and Daniel Cormier.

Our hope is to bring awareness of this situation, and send a plea to remember our Armenian brothers in captivity.

PLEASE SHARE WITH EVERYONE YOU KNOW...TOGETHER WE CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE!

*** Commemorating the 1915 Armenian Genocide ***

By the end of the First World War, more than 150,000 Armenian children were left parentless by the Ottoman Empire. The orphaned children who survived overcame significant challenges, but ultimately remained faithful to their religion and nationality.

SOAR continues to support the families of our fallen and severely injured soldiers and prisoners of war and displaced Artsakh families.

During this time of remembrance, consider making a donation to our Families of Fallen Soldiers Relief Fund (FFSRF) to ensure that no children of fallen Armenian soldiers are ever institutionalized, or to our Artsakh Family Integration Fund (AFIF) to help the families forcibly displaced from their homes in the fall of 2023.

As we reflect on our recent 20-Year Anniversary Chapter Meetings and Gala, our hearts are filled with gratitude for the incredible sense of community that was palpable throughout the celebrations. It was truly inspiring to see our team from Armenia, dedicated chapter members from around the globe, and esteemed facility directors from both Armenia and Lebanon come together in unity and purpose.

These gatherings not only marked a significant milestone in our journey but also reinforced the deep connections we share in our mission to uplift orphaned Armenian children. We extend our heartfelt thanks to everyone who participated, as your presence and contributions made the events memorable and impactful. If you missed the celebrations, we encourage you to contribute to one or both of the initiatives that require funding - your support is essential to making a difference in the lives of these children.
