ANC-WR Provides Educational Update On Genocide Resolution At United Armenian
Congregational Church

Los Angeles, CA – The Armenian National Committee-Western Region provided an
analysis of the genocide resolution pending in the U.S. Congress to members
of the Mens Fellowship Club at the United Armenian Congregational Church in
Studio City on November 27, 2007.  The briefing,  provided by ANC-WR
Chairman Raffi Hamparian, gave the crowd of over 70 Armenian Americans an
opportunity to learn about the genocide resolution and its consideration by
the House Foreign Affairs Committee last month.

`The ANC-WR is pleased to have provided an educational presentation to
members of the Mens Fellowship Club,’ remarked ANC-WR Executive Director
Andrew Kzirian.  `Whether it is providing educationals on Armenian topics to
Rotary and Kiwanis Clubs, or to Armenian groups, we welcome engaging people
on any number of Armenian issues.  The briefing that our chairman provided
on the genocide resolution is part of a broad grassroots effort to keep all
Armenian Americans aware of the challenges we have and continue to face in
seeking justice for the events of 1915,’ Kzirian added.

The Mens Fellowship Club at the United Armenian Congregational Church
regularly hosts speakers on a variety of religious and public policy
issues.  The ANC-WR briefing provided members a full accounting of the
history behind the genocide resolution sponsored by Representatives Adam
Schiff (D-CA) and George Radanovich (R-CA) and a synopsis of what may occur
to the bill during the second session of the 110th Congress which begins
next January.

The Armenian National Committee – Western Region is the largest and most
influential Armenian American grassroots advocacy organization in the
Western United States. Working in coordination with a network of offices,
chapters, and supporters throughout the Western United States and affiliated
organizations around the country, the ANC-WR advances the concerns of the
Armenian American community on a broad range of issues.
