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.
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 24
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.
