    ANC AUSTRALIA ADVOCACY WEEK


    Assistant Treasurer Hosts Exhibition ARMENIA



    CANBERRA: Federal Assistant Treasurer, the Hon. Chris Bowen MP hosted
    a unique exhibition titled `Armenia' at Parliament House on Monday, as
    the Armenian National Committee of Australia's (ANC Australia)
    inaugural Advocacy Week begun in Canberra.

    The exhibition was part of a two-day visit to the nation's capital by
    an ANC Australia delegation led by President Mr. Varant Meguerditchian
    and visiting guest from ANC America, Mr. Raffi Hamparian.

    The delegation, through the poster exhibition and direct meetings with
    more than 40 Federal legislators, covered topics including the
    Armenian Genocide, the Armenian Relief Fund of Australia, Nagorno
    Karabakh, the Armenian-Australian community, Armenian trade and
    Armenian history.

    Mr. Meguerditchian labelled the exhibition ` the first of its kind
    held in Parliament House ` an important step in introducing Armenia
    and Armenian issues to Members of Australia's Parliament and Senators.

    `The exhibition was particularly important as many legislatures were
    introduced to our community and the issues that matter for the very
    first time,' Mr. Meguerditchian said.

    ANC Australia Advocacy Week continues in Melbourne, where the
    delegation will spend the next two days.

    On Friday 14 November, Mr. Hamparian will address guests at the ANC
    Australia banquet (click here for tickets), and on Sunday 16 November,
    he will address the community at Armenian Family Day (click here for
    info).
