    ANC Town Hall Meeting Held in Crescenta Valley


    Montrose, CA - In an effort to brief its community members and
    activists, the Armenian National Committee of Crescenta Valley (ANC
    CV) hosted a town hall meeting on Monday, March 3, 2008. Over 40
    members of the Crescenta Valley Armenian Community attended the
    meeting which included discussions regarding various current ANC
    initiatives and developments. Antranig Kzirian, ANC-WR Executive
    Director and Haig Hovsepian, ANC-WR Community Relations Director,
    discussed the latest developments of the U.S. Presidential elections,
    House Resolution 106, the current state of Nagorno-Kharabakh and
    proposed changes to U.S. foreign aid to Armenia.

    "The town hall was very informative and intellectually stimulating,"
    stated attendee and California State University Northridge student Avo
    Nersessian. "It was also a great opportunity to meet people from the
    Crescenta Valley Armenian community and share thoughts and concerns
    regarding current ANC issues," he added.

    Attendees were encouraged to become engaged and involved in all levels
    of government in order to promote and advance issues relating to
    Armenian Americans. Also discussed was the importance of Armenian
    Americans voting in the upcoming U.S. Presidential elections and
    increasing their involvement in public service.

    "This was our first town hall and we hope to continue the trend and
    conduct many more during the year," stated Carmen Ohanian, ANC
    Crescenta Valley Chair. "It allows us to strengthen our bond with the
    community. The session was an educational and friendly forum for
    community members to share their views and opinions," she added.

    In an effort to keep Armenian Americans informed regarding current
    affairs and developments, the ANC-WR will continue its outreach
    program throughout the western United States.

    The ANC of Crescenta Valley advocates for the social, economic,
    cultural, and political rights of the area's Armenian American
    community and promotes increased Armenian American civic participation
    at the grassroots and public policy levels.
