ARMENIAN ASSEMBLY AND KNIGHTS OF VARTAN HOST ANNUAL SUMMER PICNIC
Farmington Hills, MI - The Armenian Assembly of America (Assembly)
joined the Knights and Daughters of Vartan for the annual summer
picnic held at Heritage Park in Farmington Hills, Michigan.
Assembly Grassroots Director Taniel Koushakjian discussed the process
and prospects for H. Res. 252, the Armenian Genocide Resolution.
Koushakjian encouraged the community to take action and help ensure a
successful outcome this year. "The Assembly continues to press for a
floor vote on H. Res. 252," stated Koushakjian.
Joining Koushakjian was ARAMAC Michigan State Chair Talar Hovnanian,
who currently attends law school at the University of Michigan.
Earlier in the week, Hovnanian met with the Armenian Students
Association to discuss internship opportunities with the Assembly,
reflecting on her experiences as an alumnus of the 2008 class in
Washington, D.C. and 2007 class in Armenia.
"It was a pleasure to join the Armenian-American community in Michigan
and discuss issues of mutual concern, such as the importance of
Armenian genocide recognition," stated Hovnanian. "I look forward to
working with the community to meet the challenges ahead," she
continued.
Later that weekend, Koushakjian and Hovnanian spoke at St. James
Armenian Church in Southfield, Michigan about the details surrounding
a floor vote on H. Res. 252, the current status of U.S. funding to
Armenia and Nagorno-Karabakh as well as normalization of relations
between Armenia and Turkey, and the bold steps taken by Armenia's
President Serge Sargsyan.
Established in 1972, the Armenian Assembly of America is the largest
Washington-based nationwide organization promoting public
understanding and awareness of Armenian issues. The Assembly is a
501(c)(3) tax-exempt membership organization.
