ANC of Montana Meets with Congressional Delegation
HUSON, MT - The Armenian National Committee of Montana (ANC MT) visited
the offices of US Representative Dennis Rehberg, as well as US Senators
Max Baucus and John Tester this past week to discuss issues of concern
to the Armenian American community and update them regarding the status
of the current Armenian Genocide resolutions in the US Congress.
"Here in Montana, it is extremely important to ensure that the voice of
the Armenian American community is represented so that human rights
catastrophes like the Armenian Genocide are recognized and understood by
fellow Americans everywhere. The key to learning from historical
mistakes is to realize and comprehend what has happened," said Yedvart
Tchakerian, Chairman of the ANC of Montana.
Tchakerian has also implemented a grassroots letter-signing campaign,
encouraging Montanans to reach out to their representatives about the
Armenian Genocide resolutions, H.Res.106 and S.Res.106 in the US House
and US Senate. As part of this effort, he is working with local
universities and other humanitarian institutions to collect signatures
for letters.
"These letters demonstrate the sentiment of Americans here in Montana;
we believe that genocide must be recognized," added Tchakerian.
The Armenian National Committee of America is the largest and most
influential Armenian American grassroots political organization. Working
in coordination with a network of offices, chapters, and supporters
throughout the United States and affiliated organizations around the
world, the ANCA actively advances the concerns of the Armenian American
community on a broad range of issues.
