    LOS ANGELES, JANUARY 25, NOYAN TAPAN - ARMENIANS TODAY. Activists
    and leaders of the Armenian National Committee welcomed newly-elected
    Councilmember Paul Krekorian to the Los Angeles City Council during
    an Inaugural Celebration on January 17 in California. According
    to www.asbarez.com, The ANC joined hundreds of supporters for
    celebrating the historic election of the first Armenian American to
    the Los Angeles City Council. Among the supporters who spoke during
    the ceremony were Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa, State Assembly Speaker
    Karen Bass, LA City Council President Eric Garcetti and others. During
    his tenure as State Assembly member, Krekorian introduced AJR 15,
    which designated April 24, 2007 as California Day of Remembrance
    for the Armenian Genocide. This resolution urged Congress and the
    President of the United States to formally recognize the Armenian
    genocide made by Turky.
