    ANCG ANNOUNCES ENDORSEMENTS FOR CITY ELECTIONS

    Glendale, CA -- The Armenian National Committee of Glendale announced
    Thursday its list of endorsed candidates for the Glendale City
    Municipal Elections. The endorsements include candidates for Glendale
    Unified School District Board of Education, Glendale Community College
    Board of Trustees, City Clerk and City Treasurer. The committee is
    holding off on endorsements for city council until a later date.

    "With 19 candidates in the City Council race, the endorsement
    process is inevitably taking a few weeks," stated board member
    Armond Gorgorian. "We really want to make sure we take the time to
    meet with candidates as well as community members in order to make
    a well informed endorsement decision."

    Regardless of the City Council race, the ANCG went ahead with
    it's endorsement of 8 candidates for various races. In the highly
    publicized City Clerk race, the Armenian National Committee of Glendale
    endorsed Ardashes 'Ardy' Kassakhian. The committee endorsed incumbent
    Ronald Borucki for City Treasurer along with all three incumbents
    for the College Board of Trustees: Armineh Hacopian, Anita Quinonez
    Gabrielian and Victor I. King. Finally, for GUSD Board, the ANCG
    endorsed incumbents Greg Krikorian and Chuck Sambar as well as Nayiri
    Nahebedian for the remaining seat.

    "The Armenian National Committee of Glendale believes that these
    8 candidates are the best candidates for their respective races.
    We are confident that these candidates bring with them the experience
    and leadership skills necessary to improve our city and serve our
    community," announced Alina Azizian, Executive Director of the ANCG
    (or stated the announcement).

    The endorsements come less than 2 months before the April 5th
    elections. The ANCG will spend the next 6 weeks encouraging people
    to register to vote and get active on campaigns, Azizian stated.
    The ANCG will also be launching a voter education campaign to inform
    voters about the candidates, the issues and the voting process.
