HIGHLAND PARK, Ill.-Friends and supporters of the Armenian National
Committee (ANC) of Illinois gathered on Sun., March 11 at a fundraiser
for Congressman Robert Dold (10thDistrict, R), an Armenian community
champion in Congress. The event was hosted by Oscar Tatosian and
took place at Oscar Isberian Rugs, in Highland Park. An opportunity
to show support and give thanks to the Congressman, the evening was
widely attended by members of the Chicagoland Armenian community.
Congressman Dold with the ANC-IL Committee and ANCA National Chair
Ken Hachikian (Nairee Hagopian, Stephanie Killian, Ari Killian,
Congressman Robert Dold, Aline DerAlexanian-Barsoumian, Ken Hachikian,
Greg Bedian).
Dold is a primary co-sponsor of the Armenian Genocide Resolution and
an initial co-sponsor of the Return of the Churches Resolution.
"Congressman Dold has been a strong advocate of issues important
to Armenian Americans since his election to office in 2010," said
Aline DerAlexanian-Barsoumian, chairperson of the ANC-IL. "In only
the first year of his freshman term, Congressman Dold proved to be
a compassionate crusader for human rights and an advocate for justice."
The program continued with Ken Hachikian, ANCA national chairperson,
who gave an update on the organization's endeavors and emphasized
the importance of financially supporting elected officials who, like
Dold, have shown such great support for Armenian issues. Hachikian
then introduced the Congressman, who addressed the crowd on topics
ranging from Iran, Syria, and the Armenian Genocide Resolution. He
even reported on Sen. Mark Kirk's (R-Ill.) progress since his stroke
this past January.
Attendees also had the honor to meet the Congressman's wife, Danielle
Dold, and his parents, Robert and Judy Dold. Congressman Dold's concern
for his constituents and issues of importance was evident with the
time he spent talking to attendees and addressing their questions.
