Benon Sevan is a board member of the Armenian General Benevolent Union ( [1]). He is show as an active board member on the AGBU website as of July 11, 2005 [2].
The AGBU website has quoted Mr Sevan as follows: "I had no choice but to be Armenian. I was born to Armenian parents and I grew up in a country where even if I said I was a Turk or a Greek, I wouldn’t be accepted as either. I joined the UN by accident -- I actually wanted to teach philosophy. I got caught up with the turmoil in Cyprus during the fifties and one thing led to another and it's been a wonderful career. I've done political, economic, social and administrative jobs and it has been a fulfilling and enjoyable experience." [3]
For reference, Sevan is also an idiomatic Armenian name, being the name of a lake in Armenia Lake_Sevan, and an monastery dated 874 AD Sevanavank.
