As part of the Armenian Assembly of America's efforts to strengthen
outreach to communities across the country, Grassroots Associate
Director Taniel Koushakjian gave a briefing at the Armenian Church
of Atlanta's HyeDoun, and attended an Armenian-American Veterans'
event in Philadelphia.
Koushakjian presented Atlanta's growing Armenian community with
the Assembly's work on behalf of Armenian-Americans over the past
35 years on November 10th. He provided an update on the Armenian
Genocide Resolution, H. Res. 106, and the developments in Washington
surrounding this issue.
Koushakjian urged community members to get involved in the Assembly's
grassroots arm, ARAMAC, which supports grassroots activism in all
50 states.
The event concluded with a two-hour question and answer session, in
which activists asked about the various legislative issues pending
before Congress.
"I enjoyed meeting with Atlanta's vibrant Armenian-American community,"
said Koushakjian. "We had a very productive exchange of ideas on the
issues facing the community and I look forward to our continued work
together to achieve results in Washington."
The following day, Koushakjian traveled to Philadelphia, PA where he
attended the Philadelphia Armenian-American Veterans' Association
(PAAVA) Annual Luncheon. The event, sponsored by all five of
Philadelphia's Armenian churches, featured keynote speaker Major Lucy
Der-Garabedian who is currently serving as U.S. Army Chaplain, Resource
Manager, Installation Chaplian's office, Fort Hood, Texas. Earlier
this year, the Assembly worked with the PAAVA in sending a letter
to Congress in support of H. Res. 106. In 2006, the Assembly held a
special ceremony honoring Armenian-American Veterans in conjunction
with its National Advocacy Conference in Washington, DC.
