The Central Board of the Armenian Democratic Liberal Party announces with deep sorrow the death of Comrade Nerses Nersesyan, one of the leading members of the Jordan chapter, former member of the ADL Central Board, chairman of the ADL Jordan Regional Board, and a meritorious and faithful comrade, which occurred on 10 March 2023 in Amman.
The deceased comrade, a devoted Armenian and guardian of the ADL’s ideological principles and values, served the party with dedication for decades as the long-time chairman of the ADL Jordan Regional Board, through which he also carried out fruitful national, union and community activities in Jordan.
As a representative of the ADL, he was a member of various inter-community and national bodies. He was known for his devotion to service and patriotism, and enjoyed great respect thanks to his noble character and good reputation.
The role and contribution of Comrade Nerses Nersesyan in the establishment, preservation and development of the Armenian community of Jordan was great and invaluable. A civil engineer by profession, Comrade Nersesyan was a member of the Amman National Local Council for 30 years, secretary-general of the Council and the National Spiritual Prelacy, and chairman of the National Athletic Union. He was also a member of the board of the joint athletic committees of Jordanian societies.
He was chairman of the joint committee coordinating the events of the 100th anniversary of the Armenian Genocide.
Our late comrade also served the Armenian letter and press for many years, appearing in various capacities as a teacher of Armenian language courses of the AGBU and editor of the “Andradardz” monthly.
For his contribution to the development of Homeland-Diaspora ties, as well as his contribution to the cause of Armenian preservation, Comrade Nerses Nersesyan was awarded the Mkhitar Gosh medal by decree of the President of the Republic of Armenia.
The untimely departure of Comrade Nersesyan is a great loss not only for his family members, but also for the party circle and the Armenian community of Jordan. His memory will always remain bright as a noble, devoted comrade faithful to the party’s ideological creed.
On this sad occasion, the Central Board of the Armenian Democratic Liberal Party expresses its heartfelt condolences to the widow of the deceased, Comrade Helen Nersesyan, to his children, Comrade Maral, Comrade Vardan and Comrade Vahram, to his relatives, friends, and party and union comrades.
The memory of the deceased comrade will always remain bright in the hearts of those who had the fortune to know him and enjoy his friendship.
Incense and prayer to his bright memory.
Eternal light and peace to his soul.
ADL Central Board
