    ANCA CONGRATULATES PRESIDENT BUSH

    -- Urges Administration to Pursue a More Constructive
    Approach to Armenian American Issues in Second Term

    "If Armenian history has taught us anything,
    it is that we may not win every battle, but
    the surest way to lose every one is to sit on
    the sidelines." - ANCA Chairman Ken Hachikian

    WASHINGTON, DC - The Armenian National Committee Of America (ANCA)
    today congratulated President Bush on his election victory, thanked
    Senator Kerry for a hard fought election campaign, and praised the
    Armenian American community for an unprecedented level of activism
    in this season's electoral contests.

    "Throughout the course of this highly competitive election season,
    George W. Bush fought to advance his ideals, John Kerry fought for
    what he believes in, and so did we - out there are the front lines
    of American politics, fighting hard for the values and interests of
    the Armenian American community," said ANCA Chairman Ken Hachikian.
    "As a result of our unprecedented electoral involvement, we have
    emerged from this contest having earned the respect of both
    parties, and of political insiders across the spectrum, as a
    vibrant, extremely well organized, and highly motivated electoral
    constituency at the presidential election level."

    Commenting on the outcome of the election, Hachikian noted that,
    "While, of course, having endorsed Senator Kerry, we would have
    liked to see a different outcome, we understand that for our
    community the fundamental truth for Armenian Americans remains that
    the key to this election - like all elections - is to understand
    that our future rests in our hands. Sometimes the candidates we
    support will win, other times they won't. But we - the ANCA - will
    always be out there - on the front lines, working with all sides to
    advance our issues across the American political landscape." He
    closed by noting that, "If Armenian history has taught us anything,
    it is that - we may not win every battle, but the sure way to lose
    every one is to sit on the sidelines."
