    Armenian National Committee-Western Region (ANC-WR) Community
    Relations Director Haig Hovsepian joined Inland Empire ANC activist
    Ana Boyadjian to meet with Nathan Miller, District Representative for
    Congressman Ken Calvert (R-CA-44) at the Congressmanï~^'s Riverside
    district office. Boyadjian and Hovsepian updated Miller regarding the
    status of H. Res. 106, the Armenian Genocide Resolution, as well as
    the Riverside area Armenian community.

    Boyadjian expressed the communityï~^'s appreciation for Calvertï~^'s
    continued leadership as an early and steadfast cosponsor of the
    resolution. Hovsepian noted that as a California Republican,
    Calvertï~^'s support of H. Res. 106 sent a strong message to his
    colleagues that this measure enjoyed broad bipartisan support in
    Congress.

    This past January, Boyajian worked with the ANC-WR office to organize
    a letter writing campaign to Congressman Calvert regarding the
    resolution. During the course of the campaign she collected over one
    hundred letters in which constituents expressed their support of the
    resolution. Due to the successful campaign, Calvert joined over 150 of
    his colleagues at that time as an original cosponsor to the resolution.

    Boyadjian also discussed the latest developments with the local
    Armenian community including the local Armenian school. She urged
    the Congressman to join the community for upcoming Armenian community
    events, particularly those supporting the work of the school to help
    continue educating Inland Empire children about the richness of the
    Armenian cultural heritage.

    ï~^"The ANC-WR is pleased to continue to work with Mrs. Boyadjian as
    we build this working relationship and open lines of communication
    with Congressman Calvert,ï~^" said Hovsepian. ï~^"The growing Armenian
    community here works diligently to keep the Armenian culture alive
    and ensure that it becomes a vibrant contribution to the communities
    of the Inland Empire.ï~^"

    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.
