POWER Initative: ANCA-WR continues strong push to extend outreach TO
WESTERN STATES
--ANCA-WR BUILDs support for armenian genocide resolutions H. Res. 106
and S. Res. 106
LOS ANGELES, CA - The Armenian National Committee of America - Western
Region (ANCA-WR) continues in its efforts to build and increase support
for H. Res. 106 and S. Res. 106, the Armenian Genocide Resolutions.
Dubbed "Project Outreach Western Region - POWER", the ANCA-WR office has
been mobilizing ANC chapters and Armenian American communities
throughout the western United States.
The recess saw key cosponsorship gains in the form of Congressman Duncan
Hunter (R-CA-52) who is the ranking member of the Armed Services
Committee, and Congressman Dave Reichert (R-WA-08) who serves in a
leadership role on the Committee for Homeland Security and is the
ranking member of the Subcommittee on Intelligence, Information Sharing
and Terrorism Risk Assessment.
"The support of the offices of Rep. Hunter and Rep. Reichert demonstrate
that recognition of the Armenian Genocide is a broad bipartisan effort,"
stated ANCA-WR Executive Director Andrew Kzirian. "Additionally, it is
interesting to note that the Turkish lobby's exaggerations and empty
threats of potential national security dangers, already immoral and
unbecoming of an 'ally', are not taken seriously," he added.
"As the two week Congressional recess comes to a close today, we reflect
on the advocacy efforts that have spread throughout the Western United
States," remarked Haig Hovsepian, Community Relations Director of the
ANCA-WR. "We expect cosponsorship support to grow steadily until these
resolutions are called to a vote in the United States Congress," he
added.
Stay tuned for the next POWER update.
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.
