RE: Florida Reception and Briefing
More than 80 supporters attended a reception and briefing hosted by
the Assembly’s Southeastern Regional Council on March 3. Assembly
leaders including Board of Trustees Chairman Hirair Hovnanian, Board
of Trustees President Carolyn Mugar, Board of Trustees Vice President
and Counselor Robert A. Kaloosdian and Board of Directors Chairman
Anthony Barsamian were among those who attended the event at Royal
Palm Place in Boca Raton, FL.
Highlights included remarks by Hovnanian and an update by Kaloosdian
on a federal lawsuit challenging the Armenian Genocide curriculum of
Massachusetts, brought by the Assembly of American Turkish Associations
(ATAA) seeking to inject denialist materials. Additionally, Barsamian
encouraged guests to attend the upcoming National Conference in
Washington, DC, which will feature Foreign Minister Vartan Oskanian,
Senator George Allen (R-VA) and House Minority Whip Steny Hoyer (D-MD)
as keynote speakers. Executive Director Bryan Ardouny provided an
overview of current Assembly issues.
