CHARLOTTE, N.C. - Armenian Americans held a reception this past
September for delegates and guests at the Democratic National
Convention (DNC). The reception was held at the Marriott Center City,
steps away from the Staples Arena, where delegates from across the
nation gathered to nominate President Barack Obama and Vice President
Joseph Biden.
The reception was co-hosted by DNC Ethnic Outreach Director
Jeff Marootian from Washington, DC, and Anthony Barsamian from
Massachusetts. The event featured South Carolina Democratic chair
and political commentator, Richard Harpootlian.
The event preceded a rousing speech by former President Bill Clinton
and Massachusetts Senate candidate Elizabeth Warren. Warren and Sen.
Scott Brown are locked in hotly-contested race for US Senate in
Massachusetts. Warren met with Armenian Americans at the convention
and affirmed her support for aid to Armenia and Artsakh (Nagorno
Karabagh) and full affirmation of the Armenian Genocide by the Senate
and US Government.
To date, Brown has not signed on as a co- sponsor of Senate Resolution
399, affirmation of the United States Record on the Armenian Genocide.
Both Republicans and Democrats in Massachusetts have made inquiries
into why Brown has not supported the resolution and have yet to
receive his support on the pending legislation.
