    NORA Endorses Krikorian; Co-Sponsors Major Fundraiser

    GLENDALE - The National Organization of Armenian Republicans (NORA) is
    proud to endorse Greg Krikorian in the general election for the 43rd
    district of the California Assembly. Krikorian has served as an
    exemplary member of the Board of Education of the Glendale Unified
    School District for the past 11 years and NORA believes he would bring
    tremendous experience to the Assembly. Krikorian has also been
    endorsed by Governor George Deukmejian and Supervisor Mike Antonovich.

    `We are pleased to announce our support for Greg Krikorian. Greg is an
    exceptionally hard-working public servant, a highly effective advocate
    and champion for the Republican Party, and a proud son of the Armenian
    American community,' said Aram Gaboudian, Chairman of NORA. `Every
    single vote for Greg on November 6th will be vital to his victory. We
    must send Greg to Sacramento to represent the district with the
    largest concentration of Armenian Americans in California.'

    Krikorian and his wife Christine, a school teacher in Burbank, have
    raised a family of five kids, all of whom are attending or graduated
    from Glendale public schools. Krikorian is a small businessman who
    understands the challenges facing business in California. He is
    committed to helping California once again attain its standing for
    being an innovative pro-business state and not one run by anti-growth
    special interests. Krikorian and his family have been active in
    Armenian American organizations for decades and appreciate the
    importance of civic involvement amongst Armenian Americans.

    `It is an honor to have NORA, the leading Armenian American Republican
    organization, support my campaign,' said Krikorian. `Leaders from the
    NORA have been active in helping my campaign and with their support,
    as well as that from other Armenian American organizations, we believe
    that we will win in November.

    Krikorian faces Assemblyman Mike Gatto of Silver Lake. Gatto has been
    a vocal opponent of measures supported by Armenian Americans and has
    even sponsored legislation which makes it harder for older Armenian
    American voters to exercise their voting rights. Gatto's supporters
    have even taken to questioning Krikorian's patriotism based on
    Krikorian's support for Armenian issues.

    `We believe it is time for Armenian Americans to start being
    represented properly,' said Gaboudian. `It is in our ability to help
    elect a leader to show Sacramento that we as a strong proud community
    will not be told who our representatives should be. Electing Greg to
    the Assembly would send a strong message that Armenian Americans can,
    and will, have a say in our own interests and the better interests of
    the great state of California'

    NORA is co-sponsoring a campaign event for Krikorian featuring
    Governor George Deukmejian on Sunday August 26 at Arbat Banquet Hall
    in Burbank. Please visit the NORA website at
    www.republicansarmenians.org for more information about the event and
    on details on how you can help elect Greg Krikorian.

    Krikorian has also been endorsed by the Armenian National Committee of
    America, Western Region (ANCA-WR), the Filipino American Business
    Association of Glendale, and other organizations based in the 43rd
    Assembly District. The candidate plans to announce additional
    endorsements at the August 26 function and in the coming weeks.

    NORA is state and federally registered political action committee
    established to support campaign committees for politicians who share
    the values of the Armenian American community.
