    ARMENIAN NATIONAL COMMITTEE OF NEW JERSEY
    ENDORSES BOB MENENDEZ FOR U.S. SENATE

    -- Calls on Garden State Armenians to
    Vote for Menendez on November 7th

    RIDGEFIELD, NJ - The Armenian National Committee of New Jersey (ANC-NJ),
    the grassroots voice of over 50,000 Garden State Armenian families, has
    endorsed the candidacy of Senator Bob Menendez.

    "Bob Menendez, a true champion for Armenian Americans in New Jersey
    and across the country, is our clear choice for U.S. Senate," said
    ANC-NJ Chairwoman Ani Tchaghlasian. "We value Bob Menendez's
    principled leadership on Armenian issues - most notably his firm
    stand against the Hoagland nomination - and will encourage all
    Armenians - Democrats, Republicans and independents - to go to the
    polls in support of his candidacy on November 7th."

    Last month, in a powerful show of moral courage and solidarity with
    New Jersey's Armenian American voters, Senator Menendez placed a
    "hold" on the nomination of Richard Hoagland as U.S. Ambassador to
    Armenia over the Administration's deeply flawed policy of denying
    the Armenian Genocide. His stand was welcomed statewide as a
    reflection of the Senator's uncompromising commitment to core
    values and his strength in fighting for his beliefs.

    During his tenure in the U.S. House, before joining the Senate
    earlier this year, Bob Menendez served on both the House
    International Relations Committee and the Congressional Caucus on
    Armenian Issues. While in both the Senate and the House, he
    consistently received "A" ratings from the ANCA for his effective
    leadership on the full range of Armenian American issues.
