The Social Democrat Hunchakian Party is the longest serving Armenian political party. Founded in Geneva in 1887, the SDHP has played an important role at every stage of our nation’s history.

An academic conference scheduled for October 27th at the Fletcher Jones Foundation Auditorium of Woodbury University in Burbank will mark the 125th Anniversary of the SDHP. The conference is organized by the Armenian Educational Benevolent Union (A.E.B.U.) and Nor Serount Cultural Association (N.S.C.A.); and co-sponsored by the Richard G. Hovannisian Endowed Chair in Modern Armenian History at UCLA [established by the Armenian Educational Foundation], the Armenian Research Center at the University of Michigan, Dearborn; Woodbury University and the National Association for Armenian Studies and Research (NAASR). A host of renowned historians, academics and scholars will conduct a day-long review of the political, intellectual and social history of the Armenian people, as analyzed through the history of the Hunchakian Party and many of its prominent members who shaped it.
