NEVADA ANC-PAC SUPPORTERS HONOR U.S. SENATOR JOHN ENSIGN
LAS VEGAS, NV - Supporters of the State of Nevada's largest Armenian
American public affairs organization hosted a fundraising event for
the reelection of United States Senator John Ensign on Friday, July
21, 2006.
A dinner-reception honoring the Senator was hosted by Mr. & Mrs. Levon
& Zaruhi Gulbenkian. Mr. Gulbenkian, who serves as a Board Member of
the Nevada ANCA Chapter, was joined by over fifty local community
members in supporting Senator Ensign's campaign. The Nevada
legislator is the Vice Chairman of the Senate Republican Steering
Committee, the group that shapes the party's legislative agenda.
On behalf of the Armenian National Committee - Political Action
Committee, Ara Bedrosian presented Senator Ensign with the Nevada ANCA
Freedom Award in recognition of his leadership in advancing the cause
of human rights and genocide recognition. The Senator was commended
by a number of Nevada Armenian leaders for his outstanding advocacy on
behalf of the growing Armenian-American community in the state.
Bedrosian, a Los Angeles based lawyer, formerly served as a
Congressional aide in Washington, DC to Republican members of
Congress.
"Since his election to the U.S. Senate in 2000, Senator Ensign has
twice drafted and authored resolutions that reaffirm the commitment of
the American people to recognizing the Armenian Genocide and to
ensuring that its lessons are applied in preventing future crimes
against humanity. No other Senator, since Bob Dole, has twice
authored such Genocide resolutions," stated Hriyr Dadaian, Las Vegas
ANCA Board Member. "John Ensign is our community's best friend, his
leadership on human rights issues is deeply appreciated, not only by
Armenian Americans in Nevada, but by Armenians throughout the
country," Dadaian added.
