Archbishop Mardirossian Meets Members of Congress on Capitol Hill
Washington, D.C. - His Eminence, Archbishop Moushegh Mardirossian, Prelate
of the Western Prelacy of the Armenian Apostolic Church of America recently
traveled to Washington, DC to visit with Members of Congress who represent
thousands of Armenian Americans across the western United States. The
Prelate, accompanied by officials from the Armenian National Committee -
Western Region (ANC-WR) visited with various elected officials to discuss
issues of concern to the Western Prelacy and Armenian American community he
represents. ANC-WR Board Members Aida Dimejian and Pattyl
Aposhian-Kasparian accompanied the Prelate during his stay in Washington,
DC.
"I am glad the Prelate was able to travel to Capitol Hill to meet with
members of the U.S. House of Representatives and Senate," commented ANC-WR
Board Member Aida Dimejian. "It was helpful for Archbishop Mardirossian to
have a genuine dialogue with the distinguished elected officials who
represent hundreds of thousands of Armenian Americans served by the Prelacy
in California and other states," Dimejian added.
The Prelate's visit occurred amid Congressional consideration of H. Res.
106, the Armenian Genocide resolution. While not commenting on the
legislation in particular, the Prelate did share with Members of Congress
the deep impact the Armenian Genocide has had on all Armenian Americans and
especially those he represents in communities across the western United
States. During his visit to Capitol Hill, the Prelate met with U.S. Senator
Dianne Feinstein (D-CA), Congressman George Radanovich (R-CA), Congressman
Brad Sherman (D-CA), Congresswoman Anna Eshoo (D-CA) and Congressman Ed
Royce (R-CA).
The Armenian National Committee - Western Region is the largest and most
influential Armenian American grassroots public affairs 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 promotes awareness of issues of
concern to the Armenian American community.
