1. I am saddened to hear about the passing of Aris Sevag. He was a great and influential man of Armenian letters. I will always recall, fondly, the email exchanges with him and greatly appreciate his publishing and editing of the articles I submitted to the Armenian Reporter when he was the editor.

   My deepest sympathies to his wife and children.

   My condolences to Mr. Sevag’s wife and children.

   I spoke to him on the phone a few times about the AGBU magazine that was sent to me and how much I enjoyed reading it from cover to cover.

   Even though Mr. Sevag did not know me, he was very gracious and helpful in answering any questions I had.

   Again, my condolences to his family.

   Sincerely,
   Jean Mangasarian

3. Aris Sevag was the epitome of Armenian journalism — a man who answered every call as a personal mission and one who symbolized the goodness in man. He was a consummate editor with The Armenian Reporter, a prolific write and a versatile translator, probably the best there was at his craft. Given the erudite qualities ofr the man, he liked nothing better than to watch his son perform with the Aravod Band. Music was his panacea. His demise certainly creates a void in our journalistic world.

4. Aris Sevag is and was a wonderful human being, life goes on with his beautiful memories.
   Our heartfelt condolences to Asdghig and the family members.

5. Aris and I were close friends at the University of Pennsylvania. I wish we had stayed in touch. I just saw his obituary. I loved him. He was one of my best friends. I miss him still.
