DIRECTOR SAYS
YEREVAN, NOVEMBER 10, NOYAN TAPAN. "The Armenian Assembly of America
(AAA) is a non-partisan public organization, and there is no
difference for its representatives who won the elections of the U.S.
Congress, and that we must continue working both with democrats and
with republicans: both parties are very important for us" Arpi

responding a question on the issue what meaning results of the late
Congress elections will have for Armenian lobbying organizations of

consisted of 163 people. In her words, it is quite obvious that this
number must change after the elections, as at the moment it is not

weeks are necessary for summing up final results. "We must meet and
start working with newly elected members of the Congress to involve
them in work of this caucus," Arpi Vardanian stated.

Congress Armenian Caucus, for the position of the House of
Representatives Speaker, in Arpi Vardanian's words, though this issue

will become the Speaker."

assisting solution of Armenian issues and during her pre-electoral

in the way we have always worked, and we hope that she will continue
