A Musical Festival on August 28
An unprecedented musical festival called "Feast for Kerry" is going to
burst out in Franklin, Massachusetts, in a campsite "Armenia" on
August 28.
The festival is aimed to do honour to the Democratic candidate John
Kerry who is respected by the Armenian community of the US for the 20
years of pro-Armenian policy in the Senate. Now Armenians hope that
John Kerry would be kind of Woodrow Wilson, American president
sensitive to the problems of the Armenians.
Armenians all over America will gather at the campsite to express
their support to the senator Kerry. The festival includes music of all
types, from folklore to jazz. A desk named "Kebab for Kerry" will be
open all day long.
Harut Sassounian of the California Courier was present at the
Democratic convention in Boston and writes that the Hye Dat National
Committee of America, that usually makes its decision public by the
end of the polls, this time was certain about the choice. The choice
was easy to take as "Bush administration has nothing to offer the
Armenian community" whereas Kerry has voted for the Armenian Genocide
acknowledgment and now is one of the supporters of the new
acknowledgment formula.
On the convention days in Boston Mr. Sassounian met many Armenians
even from Republicans who had come to unanimously support John
Kerry. "This is a good opportunity enabling Kerry to cooperate with
different representatives of the Armenian community in case of taking
the office", writes Mr. Sassounian.
