The Organization of Istanbul Armenians (OIA) of Los Angeles was founded in 1976 at St. Sarkis Church in East Los Angeles by a group of Armenians from Istanbul.[1] This organization represents mainly the Istanbul Armenian community that are scattered throughout Southern California.[2] Until 1985, the Organization of Istanbul Armenians continued its work at St. Sarkis Church. Thereafter, it relocated to Van Nuys Blvd. in the San Fernando Valley. In 1992, the OIA moved once again and situated itself on Sherman Way Blvd. in Winnetka, CA where it continues to exist today.
