Congressman Zack Space Joins the Armenian Caucus

Washington DC – The Armenian Assembly today welcomed the announcement
that Representative Zack Space (D-OH) has joined the Congressional
Caucus on Armenian Issues, bringing the total Caucus membership to 147
members.

"There are so many critical issues facing the Armenian-American
community, from reaffirmation of the Armenian Genocide to securing
important technical and development funding for the Republic of
Armenia," said Executive Director Bryan Ardouny. "We are looking forward
to working with Congressman Space to address these important matters."

The Congressman, who is currently serving his first term in office,
represents Ohio’s 18th district. He serves on the House Agriculture,
Transportation and Infrastructure and Veterans’ Affairs Committees. As
the fifth member to join from Ohio, Space joins Representatives
Stephanie Tubbs Jones (D), Dennis Kucinich (D), Marcy Kaptur (D) and
Steven LaTourette (R).

The Armenian Caucus was formed in 1995 to provide a bipartisan forum for
legislators to discuss how the United States can better assist the
peoples of Armenia and Nagorno Karabakh.

The Armenian Assembly of America is the largest Washington-based
nationwide organization promoting public understanding and awareness of
Armenian issues. It is a 501 (c) (3) tax-exempt membership
organization.
