/PanARMENIAN.Net/ The Armenian Council of America congratulated
President Barack Obama on his inauguration as the 44th President of
the United States and Joseph Biden as Vice-President.
Today marks a momentous period in American history and the
Armenian-American community is looking forward to working with the new
Administration. As Senators, both Obama and Biden have demonstrated
their support on issues of concern to the Armenian-American community,
ACA said in a statement obtained by PanARMENIAN.Net.
Barack Obama reaffirmed his support for a strong "U.S.-Armenia
relationship that advances our common security and strengthens Armenian
democracy". He is also in favor of "promoting Armenian security by
seeking an end to the Turkish and Azerbaijani blockades, and by working
for a lasting and durable settlement of the Nagorno Karabakh conflict
that is agreeable to all parties, and based upon America's founding
commitment to the principles of democracy and self determination."
In his over 30 years of public service, Joseph Biden has been a strong
and steadfast supporter of the Armenian community. As Chairman of
the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, Biden was a co-sponsor of the
Armeniaн Genocide Resolution, and authored the Hrant Dink Resolution
calling for the repeal of Article 301 of the Turkish Penal Code that
punishes discussion of the Armenian Genocide. The Armenian Council
of America endorsed the Obama-Biden ticket. "The Armenian-American
community congratulates our friends and supporters President Obama
and Vice-President Biden", said Armenian Council of America Chairman
Vasken Khodanian.
"The Obama message of change and hope has resonated around the
world. We seek to foster a deeper and stronger relationship with the
Obama Administration in a pursuing a new era and vision both here in
the United States and in Armenia."
The Armenian Council of America is a grassroots organization
dedicated to work with all political leaders, offering Armenian
related news, analysis and resources for policymakers, media,
students and activists, advocating issues important to Armenian
Americans. The Armenian Council of America aims to strengthen U.S. -
Armenia and U.S. - Nagorno Karabakh ties, the development of programs
promoting sustainable economic growth and good governance in Armenia,
while promoting the values and responsibilities of global citizenship.
