SENIOR WHITE HOUSE POLICY ADVISORS MEET WITH ARMENIAN-AMERICAN
ORGANIZATIONS PRIOR TO OBAMA’S TRIP TO TURKEY

Washington, DC – On March 24, representatives of the Armenian Assembly
of America and the Armenian National Committee of America met, at the
invitation of the White House, with President Barack Obama’s senior
foreign policy advisors prior to the President’s departure for his first
overseas trip to Europe, which will include a visit to Turkey.

The Armenian-American leadership continues to look forward, this April,
to President Obama honoring his repeated pledges to properly recognize
the Armenian Genocide, to broaden U.S.-Armenia relations, and to support
other issues impacting Armenia and the surrounding region.

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.
