The Armenian Assembly's Western Office led a community meeting with
the offices of Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) and Senator
John Ensign (R-NV) in Las Vegas, Nevada to discuss issues critical
to the Armenian-American community.
Western Office Director Lena Kaimian, along with Parish Council
Member Fredrick Gregoryan and Ladies Guild Chair Olga Gregoryan
of the Armenian Apostolic Church of Las Vegas, Jerry Guederian who
serves as Armenian Council of America's Nevada Representative and
community activist Gerard Costantian, discussed the importance of
congressional passage of the Armenian Genocide Resolution pending
in the Senate and House (S. Res. 106 and H. Res. 106 respectively)
as well S. Res. 65 condemning the murder of Hrant Dink. Additional
topics included the Fiscal Year 2008 appropriations requests for
Armenia and Nagorno Karabakh, military parity and the importance of
lifting the Turkish blockade and regional transportation corridors.
"We are fortunate to have such an active community in Las Vegas
and the strong bipartisan support of the State's Senators," said
Kaimian. "We look forward to expanding these relationships, and
hope that S. Res. 106 will be scheduled for a vote in the Senate,"
Kaimian added.
