The Congress of Canadian Armenians (CCA) and the Armenian Assembly of
America (AAA) have entered into a comprehensive partnership agreement,
which will see the two organizations developing close ties and working
together for the advancement of Armenian issues and interests as they
relate to Canadian-Armenian and US-Armenian issues respectively.
The AAA is the preeminent non-partisan advocacy organization of the
Armenian community in the United States, representing Armenian
interests to the U.S. public policy-making community. Its main offices
are located in Washington D.C., with regional offices in Pasadena,
California and Watertown, Massachusetts, and also offices in Yerevan,
Armenia and Stepanakert, Karabakh. These offices are staffed by
professional employees and supported by volunteers across the country.
They carry out pioneering research, have extensive education and
internship programs, and work to strengthen U.S.-Armenia and
U.S.-Karabakh relationships. The AAA, along with Anoush Mathevosian,
continues to work to ensure the launching and building of the
multi-million dollar Armenian Genocide Museum in Washington D.C.
"The mission of the AAA is very similar to ours, and there is a lot of
synergy in what we do", said Taro Alepian, Chairman of the Congress of
Canadian Armenians. "They are of course much larger than us, with 35
years of experience and a unique record of success. I am personally
delighted to be working with such a dedicated group of outstanding
Armenians."
"I have been impressed by what the CCA has achieved in the past few
years, and with the vision and style of its leaders", said Hirair
Hovnanian, Chairman of the Armenian Assembly of America. "We can all
gain from this cooperation, and I look forward to working with our
Canadian-Armenian friends on many joint projects in the future".
