    ANC OF ILLINOIS ANNOUNCES ENDORSEMENTS IN
    FEBRUARY 5TH ILLINOIS PRIMARY

    Glenview, IL --- Armenian American voters throughout Illinois are
    gearing up for the February 5th primary elections. With the recent
    announcement of the ANCA's endorsement of Illinois Senator Barack
    Obama for the Presidential Democratic Primary, the ANC of Illinois
    has also announced their Congressional endorsements of the primary
    races taking place this Super Tuesday.

    "The ANC of Illinois plays a vital role in the Armenian community
    alerting them of the best Congressional candidates that are
    favorable in our issues," commented Ari Killian, ANC of Illinois
    Chairman. "This past Congress we continued to build solid
    relationships with various members of Congress that has led us to
    the following endorsements."

    Of the 14 northern Congressional districts that the ANC of Illinois
    oversees, those facing challengers in the February 5th primaries
    that have been endorsed by the ANCA include: Bobby Rush (D-1),
    Daniel Lipinski (D-3), Danny Davis (D-7), and Janice Schakowsky (D-
    9), all who have been instrumental in promoting the Armenian cause.
    The ANC of Illinois has also been active in sending out the ANCA
    Congressional Questionnaire to those candidates facing challengers
    in the November election as well and will announce endorsements for
    the November elections in the coming months.

    State House Representative Paul Froehlich (D-56) was also endorsed
    by the ANC of Illinois. Froehlich was instrumental in introducing
    HB0312 in 2005, legislation mandating the teaching of genocide in
    Illinois.

    The Armenian National Committee of Illinois is part of the largest
    and most influential Armenian American grassroots political
    organization. Working in coordination with a network of offices,
    chapters, and supporters throughout the United States and
    affiliated organizations around the world, the ANCA actively
    advances the concerns of the Armenian American community on a broad
    range of issues.
