The Prime Minister of Australia John_Howard attended the opening
ceremony of the Armenian Cultural Festival in Sydney.
The "Sydney Monitoring Herald" wrote that Armenians are a significant
force in Bennelong. The national president of the Armenian National
Council, Varand Lazarian, said 4000 Bennelong voters with an Armenian
background wanted the candidates to recognize the Armenian genocide.
However, neither Mr. Howard nor the Labor leader, Kevin Rudd, has
raised the question.
The Australian Bureau of Statistics is a little more modest in its
listing of 2285 people of Armenian ancestry in Bennelong. Whichever is
the figure, in a tight election, the Armenian vote will count big time.
