    Under the auspices of His Eminence Archbishop Hovnan Derderian and
    joined by the Armenian Assembly, a community briefing featuring
    Congressman Adam Schiff (D-CA) was held at St. Gregory the Illuminator
    Armenian Church in Pasadena, California last week.

    Taking place at St. Gregory's Geragos Hall, Honorary Chairman Mark
    Geragos provided opening remarks. Before introducing Congressman
    Schiff and reviewing his extensive record, the Assembly's Executive
    Director Bryan Ardouny thanked St. Gregory's Parish as well as the
    Assembly's Southern California Regional Council (SCRC) Members.

    In his remarks, Congressman Schiff touched on a wide-range of issues,
    including affirmation of the Armenian Genocide and the continued
    efforts in the House of Representatives, President Obama's April 24th
    statement, funding for Armenia and Nagorno Karabakh, Azerbaijan's
    continued war rhetoric, and the recent California Court decision
    regarding insurance-related claims dating back to the Armenian
    Genocide era.

    Looking ahead, Congressman Schiff highlighted several legislative
    initiatives, including the reintroduction of the Armenian Genocide
    resolution, as well as legislation to address Turkey's ongoing
    blockade of Armenia, and the protection of Church property and
    minority rights in Turkey.

    "On behalf of St. Gregory's Parish and the Armenian Assembly's
    Southern California Regional Council, we applaud Congressman Schiff's
    ongoing commitment and dedication to Armenian Issues," stated Richard
    Mushegain, Chairman of the St. Gregory Parish Council and the
    Assembly's SCRC.
