/PanARMENIAN.Net/ The Armenian National Committee of America (ANCA)
endorsed Barack Obama as the Democratic candidate best positioned to
bring fundamental change to how the United States addresses issues
of special concern to Armenian American voters.

"The Armenian National Committee of America is proud today to
endorse Barack Obama for the Democratic nomination for President of
the United States," said ANCA Chairman Ken Hachikian. "Based on his
strong record in office, his bold statements as a candidate, and our
judgment as to the policies he will pursue as President, we believe
that, among a strong field of Democratic candidates, Senator Obama
will best reflect the views and values of Armenian American voters."

The official announcement came during a press conference held at
the ANCA Western Region headquarters, featuring remarks by Obama
supporters, Representative Adam Schiff (D-CA) and L.A. City Council
President Eric Garcetti as well as ANCA National Board Member Raffi
Hamparian and Armenians for Obama Chairwoman Nora Hovsepian.
