The Assembly’s Executive Director Bryan Ardouny traveled to Farmington
Hills, Michigan and Wayne, New Jersey to meet with local supporters
and discuss critical issues facing the Armenian-American community.

In those meetings, Ardouny provided an update on his meetings with US,
Armenia and Nagorno Karabakh government officials during his recent
trip to Armenia, as well as a legislative update. He also answered a
variety of questions asked by supporters regarding the Appropriations
Bill for FY 2007, the pan-Armenian Genocide Resolution, the Rail
Measure and the confirmation hearing of US Ambassador to Armenia
Designate Richard Hoagland.

"We have had numerous successes throughout this Congressional cycle
from House approval of a provision to prevent Export-Import Bank
funding of a rail bypass of Armenia to the resounding International
Relations Committee vote last September on affirming the Armenian
Genocide," said Ardouny. "However we have many challenges ahead and
it’s heartening to meet with so many committed activists. I would
like to especially thank the Assembly’s Regional Council Members for
making these events possible."
