    CONGRESSMAN GRIJALVA JOINS ARMENIAN CAUCUS

    Washington, DC - At the urging of Armenian Assembly activists, Rep. Raul
    Grijalva (D-AZ) today became the first member from Arizona to join the
    Congressional Caucus on Armenian Issues, bringing the total Caucus
    membership to 138.

    Rep. Grijalva, who was just re-elected to his second term, represents
    the Tucson and Yuma areas and serves in the Education and Workforce and
    Resources Committees.

    Announcing his decision, Rep. Grijalva said:

    "The Armenian Caucus has played a very important role in building strong
    and lasting relations between the United States and Armenia. I have
    closely followed its work over the past few years and seen the
    dedication of my fellow legislators. I am proud to be the first member
    from the Arizona delegation to the House of Representatives to join the
    Armenian Caucus."

    The Assembly, for its part, welcomed the decision and praised the
    Congressman's support of Armenian issues, notably his signing of the
    2003-2004 Genocide letter to President Bush, co-sponsoring the Armenia
    PNTR bill and H. Res. 193, the Genocide resolution.

    "The Assembly extends its appreciation and thanks to Congressman
    Grijalva and looks forward to working with him on issues of importance
    and concern to the Armenian community, Armenia and Nagorno Karabakh,"
    Assembly Congressional Relations Director Rob Mosher said.

    The Armenian Assembly of America is the largest Washington-based
    nationwide organization promoting public understanding and awareness of
    Armenian issues. It is a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt membership organization.
