    GLENDLE-The Armenian National Committee of America, Western Region,
    announced today its endorsement of Los Angeles City Councilwoman
    Janice Hahn as she runs for United States Congress in California's
    36th District.

    In her meeting with ANCA activists and staff, Councilwoman Hahn showed
    considerable understanding and concern for issues important to the
    Armenian American community in the 36th District and throughout the
    United States.

    "I am deeply honored by the Armenian National Committee of America,
    Western Region's endorsement. As the strongest, most politically
    active organization in the Armenian American community, I am pleased
    to have the support of the ANCA-WR," said Hahn.

    She continued, "When I am elected to Congress from the 36th District,
    I promise that I will be a champion of the Armenian community by
    advocating for Congressional recognition of the Armenian Genocide,
    the establishment of a U.S. - Armenia trade office, and the protection
    of the right to self-determination for the people of Nagorno-Karabakh."

    The 36th Congressional District race is significant because the winner
    will be replacing former Congresswoman and noted Genocide denier,
    Jane Harman.

    ANCA-WR Chairman Andrew Kzirian commented on the endorsement: "Our
    decision to endorse Janice Hahn, a longtime friend of the Armenian
    community in Los Angeles, is to ensure that the integrity of the 36th
    Congressional seat is upheld."

    "We truly believe that Councilwoman Hahn is the individual in this race
    who is not only committed to supporting Armenian American issues but
    also of bringing them to the fore once she is elected to the House
    of Representatives."

    The special election for this seat will be taking place on May 17. For
