    CONGRESSMAN ADAM SCHIFF AND ANC ACTIVISTS DISCUSS HUMAN RIGHTS ISSUES

    ANC activists Gegham Manukyan, Robert Khachikyan, Armen Donigian and
    Razmik Khachikyan recently met with Congressman Adam Schiff (D-CA) at
    the Raytheon office in Pasadena, CA to thank him for his continuous
    support of the Armenian American Community, specifically regarding
    House Resolution 106, the Armenian Genocide resolution introduced to
    Congress in 2007.

    "We realize the importance of communicating our concerns on
    behalf of our community to our Congressional leadership, and we are
    appreciative of the response," stated Razmik Khachikyan. "The efforts
    for recognition of the Armenian Genocide continue in order to preserve
    historical integrity and protect human rights issues worldwide,"
    added Gegham Manukyan.

    Robert Khachikyan spoke with the Congressman regarding the status of
    H. Res. 106. The adoption of the resolution by the House Foreign
    Affairs Committee on October 10, 2007 sparked a firestorm of
    media coverage over the Turkish government's threats to retaliate
    against America if the measure were approved by the full House of
    Representatives. Congressman Schiff reiterated his support for the
    Armenian American community and reassured that he will once again
    support the Armenian Genocide Resolution when it is introduced in
    Congress.

    Armen Donigian thanked the Congressman for his support and
    participation during the Days of Advocacy earlier this year when
    hundreds of members from the Genocide Intervention Network and ANC
    chapters across the nation met in Washington, DC to advocate human
    rights issues pertaining to Darfur and the Armenian Genocide.
