YEREVAN, OCTOBER 13, ARMENPRESS: Two of the leading Greek and Armenian
American advocacy organizations, representing nearly five million
citizens from across the United States, today jointly called upon
President Barack Obama and former Massachusetts Governor Romney to end
their respective campaigns' silence on Armenian and Greek issues, by
issuing public statements outlining their views, reports Armenpress
citing ANCA. "As two of the leading Greek and Armenian American
advocacy organizations, we join together today in calling upon
President Obama and Governor Romney to publicly present the specific
principles, priorities, and policies that would guide their
Administration's actions on issues of special concern to our nation's
nearly 5 million citizens of Greek and Armenian heritage," said
American Hellenic Institute President Nick Larigakis and Armenian
National Committee of America Executive Director Aram Hamparian. Both
the American Hellenic Institute (AHI) and the Armenian National
Committee of America (ANCA) have, separately, written to both the
Obama-Biden and the Romney-Ryan presidential campaigns, providing them
with candidate questionnaires, and inviting them to share their views
with voters, many living in swing states, that may prove decisive in
what is widely expected to be a close electoral contest. Two recently
launched Facebook pages reflect and reinforce the enduring bonds
between the Armenian and Greek nations.
