ANCA OF WEST SAN FERNANDO VALLEY HONORS REP. BRAD SHERMAN
-- Community Gathers to Show Appreciation for Congressman's Steadfast
Support of Armenian Issues
GRANADA HILLS, CA - Armenian National Committee of America (ANCA)
supporters and friends gathered together at the home of Nishan and
Nairi Bostanian to honor San Fernando Valley Congressman Brad Sherman
on June 3, 2005. The Congressman has been a tireless advocate of
issues of concern to the Armenian American community over the years
and has actively pursued these issues in the halls of Congress
throughout his tenure representing the 27th Congressional District in
California.
Congressman Sherman enthusiastically greeted the attendees and
outlined his longstanding support of Armenian issues. He began by
thanking the ANCA and the Armenian American community for their hard
work and vigilance in the area of genocide recognition and support for
the Republic of Armenia.
"One of the first things I did when I was elected to Congress was to
join the Armenian Caucus," stated Rep. Sherman in his remarks. "Since
that time I have worked and will continue working side by side with
the Armenian community and the ANCA to ensure that the Republic of
Turkey comes to terms with its genocidal past," he said.
Ara Papazian, Chairman of the West San Fernando Valley chapter of the
ANCA thanked the many supporters who came to meet and spend an evening
with Congressman Sherman. Papazian stressed the importance of Armenian
Americans becoming politically active in their communities and
establishing relationships with their elected officials.
Steven Dadaian, who chairs the Western Region Board of Directors of
the ANCA, summarized the Congressman's many achievements on behalf of
the Armenian American community in Congress and thanked him for his
unrelenting support of Armenian issues and in the strengthening of the
Republic of Armenia.
"Nine years ago Brad Sherman, while a candidate, made a promise to our
community to support our causes," reminisced Dadaian. "Not only has he
honored his promise, but he has been in the forefront in advocating
the Armenian Cause," he stated.
The ANCA is the largest and most influential Armenian American
grassroots political organization. Working in coordination with a
network of offices, chapters, and supporters throughout the United
States and affiliated organizations around the world, the ANCA
actively advances the concerns of the Armenian-American community on a
broad range of issues.
