ANC Grassroots event over Thanksgiving Weekend to chart a new course
for advocacy of Armenian issues, Asbarez.com reported.

represented.
The immense success of ANC Grassroots emphasized the groundbreaking
nature of the event and the excitement in the community about
discussing the Armenian Cause and the different ways in which
individuals can work toward its advancement.
~SANC Grassroots will continue beyond the weekend event. It became the
spark, with which the community was empowered to activate and advocate
for the interests of Armenian-Americans and the realization of the
national aspirations of the Armenian people,~T said Ara Khachatourian,
chairman of the ANC Grassroots organizing committee.
The panels covered a broad range of topics, including film and the
arts, homeland and Diaspora issues, transnational justice, stolen
Armenian church properties, and human rights in Turkey.
These panels were accented by workshops that provided avenues by
which attendees could get involved, including through participation
in politics, the use of social and traditional media, education,
and investment.
The response from attendees was very positive, as individuals were
impressed with the breadth, organization, and professionalism of the
whole weekend.
