ANC OF SOUTH BAY STRENGTHENS TIES WITH REP. MAXINE WATERS
Washington, DC - Armenian National Committee of South Bay (South Bay ANC)
Chairman Christopher Yemenidjian and ANCA Legislative Affairs Director Raffi
Karakashian met with Rep. Maxine Waters (D-CA-35), to thank the
Representative for cosponsoring the Armenian Genocide Resolution (H. Res.
106) and to explore ways to strengthen further ties with the local Armenian
American community.
"We hope to build an even better relationship with the office of Maxine
Waters, as we work together to ensure passage of the Armenian Genocide
Resolution," commented South Bay ANC Chairman Christopher Yemenidjian. "As
a grassroots organization, our ability to create change rests on the long
lasting relationships that we've established with our elected officials."
Meeting in Rep. Waters' Washington, DC office, Yemenidjian provided an
update on the status of the Armenian Genocide Resolution, thanking the
Congresswoman for her support. They then went on to discuss ways to work
together to secure additional cosponsors for this vital human rights
legislation. Waters and Yemenidjian also discussed the activities of the
growing and increasingly vocal South Bay Armenian community.
First elected to Congress in 1990, Rep. Waters has been a perennial
supporter of Armenian Genocide legislation and is outspoken in efforts to
end the ongoing genocide in Darfur. She has consistently cosponsored
Armenian Genocide legislation and urged the President to speak honestly
about this crime against humanity.
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.
