ARMENIAN ASSEMBLY OF AMERICA SALUTES PRESIDENT OBAMA ON HIS HISTORIC
INAUGURATION

Washington, DC – Following the historic inauguration of President Barack
Obama, the Armenian Assembly of America (Assembly) welcomed the 44th
President with a full-page ad in Roll Call, "The Newspaper of Capitol
Hill Since 1955."

The ad reads in part, "The Armenian Assembly of America and the
Armenian-American community salute President Barack Obama on his
historic inauguration," and prominently illustrates President Obama’s
position on the Armenian Genocide. Roll Call has a circulation of over
18,000; an additional 11,500 copies are delivered to Congress and 400
copies are delivered to the White House.

"We look forward to working with the new Administration and Congress to
further strengthen U.S.-Armenia and U.S.-Karabakh relations, as well as
end the scourge of genocide and the consequences of denial," stated
Assembly Executive Director Bryan Ardouny.

Established in 1972, the Armenian Assembly of America is the largest
Washington-based nationwide organization promoting public understanding
and awareness of Armenian issues. The Assembly is a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt
membership organization.
