Today the Armenian National Committee of America released a media
advisory, announcing its endorsement of Barack Obama, the Democratic
candidate in the Democratic primaries, who, according to the ANCA, "is
best positioned to bring fundamental change to how the United States
addressed issues of special concern to Armenian American voters."

"In a powerful statement issued on January 20th, Senator Obama voiced
his support for passage of the Armenian Genocide Resolution (H. Res.
106 & S. Res. 106) currently before Congress, and pledged that, as
President, he will recognize the Armenian Genocide. The Presidential
hopeful also reaffirmed his support for a strong "U.S.-American
relationship that advocates our common security and strengthens
Armenian democracy." He also pledged to "promote Armenian security by
seeking an end to the Turkish and Azerbaijani blockades, and by working
for a lasting and durable settlement of the Nagorno Karabagh conflict
that is agreeable to all parties, and based upon America’s founding
commitment to the principles of democracy and self-determination,"
runs the media advisory of the ANCA.
