    ANC-WR Holds Annual Federal Town Hall Meeting


    Los Angeles, CA - Over fifty members of the Armenian American
    Community gathered at the Universal Sheraton on Saturday, May 3, 2008
    to take part in the Annual Federal Issues Town Hall Briefing organized
    by the Armenian National Committee - Western Region (ANC-WR). The
    informative session which focused on major Armenian issues pending in
    the second session of the 110th Congress featured presentations by
    ANCA Chairman Ken Hachikian and prominent political expert Charles
    Mahtesian.

    "Today's event was a unique opportunity and extremely informative and
    important for all members of the Armenian American community," stated
    ANC-WR Executive Director Antranig Kziran. "Both Mahtesian and
    Hachikian provided insight into topics that are of interest to
    Armenian Americans and serve as valuable information," he added.

    Mahtesian is National Politics Editor for Politico and served as
    editor for the National Journal's Almanac of American Politics, which
    is commonly referred to as "the bible of American politics." Mahtesian
    provided the attendees with his insider analysis of the United States
    Presidential elections, the upcoming Congressional elections and
    related issues.

    Hachikian discussed several topics including U.S Foreign Aid to
    Armenia, the Congressional Armenian Genocide resolutions, the upcoming
    hearings in the Senate regarding an Ambassador to Armenia, the current
    situation in Nagorno-Karabakh and various other issues of concern to
    the community.

    The annual federal town halls are geared to inform the Armenian
    American community about issues that pertain to the community at
    large.

    The Armenian National Committee - Western Region is the largest and
    most influential Armenian American grassroots advocacy organization in
    the Western United States. Working in coordination with a network of
    offices, chapters, and supporters throughout the Western United States
    and affiliated organizations around the country, the ANC-WR advances
    the concerns of the Armenian American community on a broad range of
    issues.
