Armen Anooshian, Hera Armenian Esq., Congressman Dr. Joe Heck (NV-R),
and Andy Armenian
LAS VEGAS--Representatives from St. Garabed Armenian Church of Las
Vegas, the Armenian-American Cultural Society, and the Armenian
National Committee of America (ANCA) met with Congressman Dr. Joe
Hack to provide him with an update regarding the rapidly growing
Armenian-American community in Southern Nevada.
Andy Armenian discussed the construction of the St. Garabed Armenian
Church and the recently completed Cultural Center in the Church
complex.
Armen Anooshian elaborated on the roots of the Las Vegas Armenian
community, who 100 years earlier were displaced during the Armenian
Genocide in Ottoman Turkey; some of whom eventually settled in the
Greater Las Vegas area, and are proud to call Southern Nevada their
home in the oasis.
Hera Armenian indicated that many Armenians living in Las Vegas still
have family members in Syria who have suffered a tremendous loss in
property as well as many casualties. She then thanked the Congressman
for his stand not to supply arms to the Rebel Syrian Army, who are
strengthening the Islamic State's position against the Syrian people.
Congressman Heck thanked the visitors, who agreed to continue updating
Congressman Heck with ongoing Armenian-American community developments.
Congressman Joe Heck represents the 3rd Congressional District
of Nevada.
