    GCC Student Helps FED Improve International Trade Between
    Armenia and California



    Los Angeles, CA - Karo Aydindzhyan is taking his interest in economics
    and translating it into helping bridge the markets of California and
    Armenia. As part of the 2007 Autumn Session of the Armenian National
    Committee-Western Region Internship-Externship Program, Aydindzhyan
    worked as an extern with the Foundation for Economic Development
    (FED). In this capacity he helped FED Executive Director, Johnny
    Nalbandian help promote the FED's work.

    "After traveling to Armenia in 2005 and seeing the economic situation
    there I wanted to help improve the living standards and quality of
    life," said Aydindzhyan. "Working with the ANC and the FED gave me the
    chance to help contribute to the economic growth and stability of
    Armenia," he added.

    A student at Glendale Community College, Aydindzhyan is double
    majoring in international business and accounting. His work with the
    FED has earned him the praise of Nalbandian.

    "I was thrilled to be working with a young and devoted gentlemen like
    Karo," said Nalbandian. "He was a great asset helping ensure that the
    community was aware of the work the FED was doing and supporting our
    efforts to make a positive difference in the economies of California
    and Armenia."

    Established in June 2006, the ANC-WR IEP is a selective and intensive
    program that provides student leaders and activists with an
    opportunity to participate in an intensive internship designed to
    provide an in-depth introduction to Armenian American issues as well
    as advocacy efforts on the federal, state and local level. The program
    hosts spring, summer and autumn sessions. You can find more
    information about the IEP by visiting

    The Armenian National Committee - Western Region is the largest and
    most influential Armenian American grassroots advocacy organization in
    the Western United States. Working in coordination with a network of
    offices, chapters, and supporters throughout the Western United States
    and affiliated organizations around the country, the ANC-WR advances
    the concerns of the Armenian American community on a broad range of
    issues.
