Armenian National Committee-Western Region (ANC-WR) Community
Relations Director Haig Hovsepian joined Inland Empire ANC activist
Ana Boyadjian to meet with Nathan Miller, District Representative for
Congressman Ken Calvert (R-CA-44) at the Congressmanï~^’s Riverside
district office. Boyadjian and Hovsepian updated Miller regarding the
status of H. Res. 106, the Armenian Genocide Resolution, as well as
the Riverside area Armenian community.
Boyadjian expressed the communityï~^’s appreciation for Calvertï~^’s
continued leadership as an early and steadfast cosponsor of the
resolution. Hovsepian noted that as a California Republican,
Calvertï~^’s support of H. Res. 106 sent a strong message to his
colleagues that this measure enjoyed broad bipartisan support in
Congress.
This past January, Boyajian worked with the ANC-WR office to organize
a letter writing campaign to Congressman Calvert regarding the
resolution. During the course of the campaign she collected over one
hundred letters in which constituents expressed their support of the
resolution. Due to the successful campaign, Calvert joined over 150 of
his colleagues at that time as an original cosponsor to the resolution.
Boyadjian also discussed the latest developments with the local
Armenian community including the local Armenian school. She urged
the Congressman to join the community for upcoming Armenian community
events, particularly those supporting the work of the school to help
continue educating Inland Empire children about the richness of the
Armenian cultural heritage.
ï~^"The ANC-WR is pleased to continue to work with Mrs. Boyadjian as
we build this working relationship and open lines of communication
with Congressman Calvert,ï~^" said Hovsepian. ï~^"The growing Armenian
community here works diligently to keep the Armenian culture alive
and ensure that it becomes a vibrant contribution to the communities
of the Inland Empire.ï~^"
Congressman Ken Calvert represents the 44th District of Southern
California which encompasses western Riverside County and parts of
Orange County. Calvert is a member of the Armed Services Committee
and the Resources Committee.
