Today, Manhattan’s community has shrunk to 10,000 of the 150,000 Armenians in the Greater New York area. Together their centrality and afflu­ ence continues to make them a driving force in the Armenian American community. Before the twentieth century, Queens County was a sparse network of towns buffered by open fields and farmlands. As the most culturally diverse county in the nation, Queens was and perhaps still is home to the bulk of Tri-State Armenians with today's population hovering around 50,000.

Lawyer and politico, Edward N. Costikyan, has lived in Manhattan since he was seven years old. He's spent four decades at Paul, Weiss, Rifkind, Wharton & Garrison, he's penned must-read books on the city's politics and he's devel­ oped a reputation as an astute political voice with an eye on the future of city government. Costikyan admits that Armenians were never concentrated enough to make a dent in general city politics, \"The Armenian community was always dispersed, and during the thirties they spread out even more, though they did build churches at the epicenter of the old neighborhood and they still come back.\" \"When I was a kid, I became interested in politics after watching the 1940 Presidential debates. It was the time of the New Deal and the government was looking at ways to restructure,\" he says. Costikyan recognized early that centralized governments were cumbersome, remote and inefficient and with New York Governor Rockefeller’s approval he helped along the slow process of shifting the power from a strong central city administration to districts—a process that continues today. He's served as Democratic County Leader for New York but in the last decade Costikyan has endorsed Mayor Rudolph Giuliani as the best choice for the city, \"I supported Giuliani even though he was a Republican, I just prayed I Corona, Queens, c. 1933.
