    Riverside Armenian American Community Thanks Congressman Ken Calvert
    (R-CA-44) for

    Cosponsorship of H. Res. 106


    Riverside, CA - Armenian National Committee of America (ANCA) activist
    Ana Boyajian met with Congressman Ken Calvert's district office staff
    representative Bill Essayli in the Congressman's Riverside office on
    April 12, 2007. The meeting was held in order to thank Congressman
    Calvert for his decision to sign on as a cosponsor for H.Res.106.

    Congressman Ken Calvert represents the 44th District of Southern
    California which encompasses western Riverside County and parts of
    Orange County. Calvert is a member of the Armed Services Committee and
    the Resources Committee.

    Ana Boyajian worked with the Armenian National Committee of America
    Western Region (ANCA-WR) office to organize a letter writing campaign to
    Congressman Calvert during January of this year to urge him to cosponsor
    H. Res. 106. During the course of the campaign she collected over one
    hundred letters from constituents informing the Congressman of the
    importance of the issue. The campaign was very successful and as a
    result Calvert joined over 150 of his colleagues and signed on as an
    original cosponsor to the resolution.

    Boyajian and Essayli spoke regarding the Armenian Genocide and the
    importance of the resolution to the Armenian community. Boyajian also
    told Essayli how much ANCA activists appreciate Calvert's and his
    colleagues' support for the Resolution.

    "The ANC and its local advocates welcome these opportunities to build
    strong ties with our elected officials," said Haig Hovsepian, ANCA-WR
    Community Relations Director. "The Riverside area Armenian American
    community is happy to let Congressman Calvert know that his support on
    this important issue is important to them and appreciated."

    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.
