SACRAMENTO, AUGUST 16, NOYAN TAPAN – ARMENIANS TODAY. A decision was
announced in Sacramento (California) on August 14 that a commission
on Armenian issues will be set up at the Congress of the state
of California. Lena Kayimian, Executive Director of the Western
Representative Office of the Armenian Assembly of America (AAA) told
Radio Liberty that both Houses of the Congress of California marked
Armenia’s Independence Day and made a resolution about creation of a
commission on Armenian issues at the state’s Congress. The AAA had
previously put forward the initiative to set up such a commission,
while the official proposal for that was made by Californian
congressmen Dario Fromer and Greg Aghazarian. The commission’s
official name is "the Congress’ Legislative Commission on Armenian
Issues". California’s Senate will make an official announcement about
the formation of the commission at the end of this week.
