POLLS REVEAL COMMUNITY’S FOCUS

SYDNEY: Internet polls conducted on over a four-week period
reveal the Armenian-Australian community lists among its primary Federal
Election matters of interest, affirmation of the Armenian Genocide, as well
as Economic Stability, Environmental Planning, Industrial Relations,
Healthcare and Community Support.

The ANC Australia internet polls were conducted between August 21, 2007 and
September 24, 2007, and included the participation of more than 400
individuals across New South Wales and Victoria. Of the participants, 59%
reside in the region of Ryde and its surrounding areas, a further 27% reside
in other regions of Sydney and 14% reside in Victoria.

"We are pleased that so many Armenian-Australian voters are educated and
focused on matters of importance to the community," commented ANC Australia
President Mr. Varant Meguerditchian. "An educated and united community is a
strong community."

In the lead up to the 2007 Federal Election, ANC Australia delegations will
meet with candidates and sitting members for the Armenian populated
electorates in Sydney’s North, North-West and Western Suburbs, to ascertain
the candidates’ positions regarding issues of importance to the
Armenian-Australian community and the Australian populace at large.
