Armenia focus of proclamation

The Capital-Journal

Gov. Kathleen Sebelius has signed a proclamation acknowledging the
“outstanding success” of the Kansas National Guard Partnership Program in
establishing improved security cooperation between the United States and
Armenia.
The proclamation said the program has established a military-to-military,
military-to-civilian and civilian-to-civilian association and improved
security cooperation between the two countries.

The proclamation was submitted by Alex Kotoyantz, of Junction City, a
retiree from the Kansas Department of Transportation, and signed by the
governor recently. It expresses gratitude for the contributions of Armenian
Americans who have chosen Kansas as their adopted homeland and enriched the
character of the state with their wisdom, courage and centuries-old
traditions.
