With a little more than two weeks to go in the 2008 Presidential
election, Armenian-Americans and Greek-Americans in Manhattan will
show their support of Presidential hopeful Senator Barak Obama by
hosting a fundraiser.
The event, which will take place on October 28 at Lafayette Bar and
Grill in downtown Manhattan, will feature community leaders from
the Armenian and Greek communities, as well as actor Tate Donovan,
an Obama supporter and friend of Peter Balakian.
"This is a great opportunity for Armenians and Greeks to come together
and rally for the Obama-Biden ticket," commented Nicole Vartanian,
Armenians for Obama New York activist. "Both Senators have proven to
have solid support on Armenian and Greek American issues, and come
November 4th, it will be a true victory for all Americans when Obama
wins the Presidency."
In January of 2008 Senator Obama released a statement to the
Armenian-American community expressing his support on key issues
on US-Armenian relations, recognition of the Armenian Genocide,
a peaceful settlement of the Nagorno-Karabagh conflict in-line with
the principles of self-determination and democracy, and working to
end the Turkish and Azerbaijani blockade's of Armenia.
The Senator has also released several recent statements, including
one recognizing Armenia's 17th Independence on September 21st, as well
as a statement calling for an end of the Turkish occupation of Cyprus.
