    Armenian activists meet Barack Obama's advisor, confidante
    by Emil Sanamyan

    Washington -

    "Armenians for Obama" activists Nora Keomurjian and Karine Birazian
    met with Sen. Barack Obama's senior campaign advisor Valerie Jarrett
    to update her on the group's activities on behalf of the presidential
    campaign.

    During a "Pennsylvania Women for Obama" event held in Philadelphia on
    October 13, Ms. Jarrett expressed "deep interest in [the Armenian]
    community's efforts to elect Senator Obama our next president,"
    according to Ms. Keomurjian.

    Described as Mr. Obama's "big sister" and "fixer" by the New Republic,
    Ms. Jarrett is a Chicago lawyer and businessperson. The Wall Street
    Journal described her as an "insider widely tipped for a top position
    in an Obama administration."

    Ms. Birazian is Eastern U.S. director for the Armenian National
    Committee of America (ANCA) and Ms. Keomurjian is also an activist for
    ANCA, which endorsed Mr. Obama.

    "Armenians for Obama" is a nationwide Los Angeles-based voter
    registration, education, and mobilization effort dedicated to electing
    Barack Obama president.
