    ARMENIAN AMERICANS SET TO PLAY PIVOTAL ROLE IN PRIMARIES

    In the wake of the hotly contested Iowa caucus and New Hampshire
    primary, Armenian Americans are better positioned than ever to play a
    decisive role in the key states that will help choose the Presidential
    nominees of the Republican and Democratic parties over the next 30
    days, reported the Armenian National Committee of America (ANCA).

    In recent weeks, the ANCA has invited each of the candidates to
    share their views on Armenian Americans issues, and to comment
    on both the growing relationship between the US and Armenian
    governments and the enduring bonds between the American and Armenian
    peoples. Questionnaires sent to the candidates have invited them
    to respond to a set of 18 questions, including those addressing:
    affirmation of the Armenian Genocide, US-Armenia economic, political,
    and military relations, self-determination for Nagorno Karabakh,
    the Turkish and Azerbaijani blockades and the genocide in Darfur

    "Armenian Americans are set to cast their votes in the presidential
    primaries in record numbers," said ANCA Eastern Region Executive
    Director Karine Birazian. "We look forward to working with all the
    campaigns to make sure that Armenian American voters go to the polls
    empowered to make informed decisions about the candidates who will
    best represent our community's views and values."

    "In California, Nevada, Arizona, Colorado, and throughout the Western
    part of the country, Armenian American voters are in a position to
    play a truly decisive role in this year's highly competitive battle
    between the candidates to secure the nominations of their party,"
    said ANCA Western Region Executive Director Andrew Kzirian.
