    ANCA SHARES EXPERIENCE WITH CHRISTIAN ACTIVISTS

    YEREVAN (YERKIR) - As part of the Armenian National Committee of
    America's (ANCA) ongoing outreach to the broader genocide- prevention
    community, Executive Director Aram Hamparian shared the Armenian
    American advocacy experiences with participants in Ecumenical Advocacy
    Days, an annual gathering of over a thousand Christian activists from
    around the nation concerned about U.S. foreign policy in Africa and
    the Middle East.

    In his March 11th presentation on the Darfur Genocide, Hamparian
    began by noting the profound gratitude of Armenians for the role that
    Christian churches played in raising protests during the Armenian
    Genocide, providing relief to its survivors, and in establishing
    orphanages for the countless thousands of children left parentless
    by this crime.

    Stressing the special responsibility that Armenians bear as victims of
    the 20th Century's first genocide, Hamparian discussed the efforts by
    the Armenian American community to bear witness to the horrific human
    costs of genocide, to press for action to end the genocide in Darfur,
    and, more broadly, to help generate the political will to ensure that
    this crime is never again visited upon any other peoples - anywhere
    in the world.

    He then spent the remainder of his presentation outlining the
    policy-based and practical political steps needed to build an effective
    anti-genocide constituency at both the grassroots and national levels.
