PanARMENIAN.Net - The Armenian National Committee of America (ANCA)
posted a series of sixteen YouTube videos of the main speakers at
this week's Armenian independence day celebration on Capitol Hill.
The videos can be viewed on the ANCA YouTube page:

The event, which featured the awarding of Armenia's "Mkhitar Gosh"
medals to two long-standing champions of Armenia and the Armenian
American concerns - Reps. Howard Berman and Adam Schiff - brought
together eighteen U.S. legislators, the Armenian Embassy, the Office
of the Nagorno Karabakh Republic friends of Armenia, and Armenian
Americans from across the United States.
"We're pleased to share these videos with all our friends across
America and around the world who could not join us on Capitol Hill
in marking this milestone in Armenia's progress as an independent
state," said Aram Hamparian. "Please share these videos with friends,
and stay tuned in to the work of the Armenian Cause by following the
ANCA on YouTube, Facebook and Twitter."
The celebration was held in the historic hearing room of the House
Foreign Affairs Committee, 2172 Rayburn House Office Building. This
room has been the setting for many watershed meetings on Armenian
issues, including the approval of a series of Armenian Genocide
Resolutions and, just this past July 20th, the adoption of the
Return of Churches amendment calling on Turkey to restore confiscated
Christian religious properties to their rightful owners.
In addition to coverage of each legislator who offered remarks,
the videos include the opening and closing prayers, as well as a
post-event message from ANCA Chairman Ken Hachikian.
The October 25 event was organized by the Congressional Caucus on
Armenian Issues, in coordination with the Embassy of the Republic of
Armenia and Armenian American organizations.
