    Armenian American Community Is Focused on Genocide Resolution According To
    Internet Poll



    Los Angeles, CA - The Armenian National Committee of America - Western
    Region (ANCA-WR) is reporting that an internet poll conducted over a two
    week period has shown that over 85% of the Armenian American community is
    closely following the Armenian Genocide resolution (H. Res. 106) currently
    pending in the U.S. Congress. The poll was conducted in late May and early
    June and included the participation of 848 participants.



    Individuals who participated in the internet poll were asked if they were
    following the progress of H. Res. 106 which is pending before the House
    Committee on Foreign Affairs. The bill, which was introduced on January 30,
    2007 by Congressman Adam Schiff (D-CA-29) enjoys support from over 195
    Members of the U.S. House of Representatives.



    Over 85% (731 individuals) of respondents conveyed that they are closely
    monitoring the status of the bill. In addition, a resounding 97% of
    respondents shared that they would not vote for a Member of Congress who did
    not support the Armenian Genocide resolution.



    "We are pleased that so many Armenian American voters are educated and
    focused on the Armenian Genocide resolution," commented ANCA-WR Executive
    Director Andrew Kzirian. "An educated and united community is a strong
    community. Clearly, ANC chapters in California, Arizona, Nevada and
    elsewhere across the western United States have done a successful job in
    educating, voter by voter, our community on the status of the Armenian
    Genocide resolution," Kzirian added.



    The ANCA-WR internet poll was conducted between May 25, 2007 and June 4,
    2007 and included the participation of individuals across the Western United
    States. The internet poll surveyed the opinions of 848 individuals and had
    an error margin of plus/minus 3 percent.



    The Armenian National Committee of America (ANCA) 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.
