    Calls on Governor to Meet with Community's Broad-based Leadership

    WASHINGTON - The Armenian National Committee of America (ANCA) today
    continued its outreach to the Romney-Ryan presidential campaign by
    calling upon Governor Romney to spell out his views on Armenian
    American issues and to meet personally with the broad-based leadership
    of the Armenian American community.


    Romney
    Earlier this week, the ANCA issued a similar call to President Obama
    to meet with community leaders and personally explain his
    Administration's policies on issues of special concern to Armenian
    American voters. As governor of Massachusetts, from 2003 to 2007,
    Romney represented one of the nation's largest and most vibrant
    Armenian communities.

    The full text of the ANCA letter to Governor Romney, signed by
    Chairman Ken Hachikian, is provided below.

    The Honorable Mitt Romney
    Romney for President
    PO Box 149756
    Boston, MA 02114-9756

    Dear Governor Romney,

    I am writing to ask you to publicly outline the policies and
    priorities that you would pursue as President on issues of special
    concern to voters of Armenian heritage and other friends of Armenia
    from across the United States, and also to invite you to hold a
    meeting with the broad-based leadership of our community to discuss
    Armenian American participation in this year's elections.

    A personal meeting, with a representative group of national community
    leaders, would offer you the opportunity to share your vision, explain
    your record, clarify your priorities, and explore, with us, ways in
    which we can work together in the months and years to come. By
    outlining your views, in the attached questionnaire, you can help
    empower Armenian Americans to go to the polls this November fully
    informed about your stated stands on specific issues that hold great
    meaning to their families and communities.

    Please accept our thanks for your consideration of our request that
    you meet with our community leadership and publicly outline your views
    on Armenian American issues.

    Sincerely,

    [signed]

    Kenneth V. Hachikian

    Chairman
