Peter Koutoujian's work for the Armenian community has earned him the
endorsement of the Armenian National Committee of America in his race
for Congress.
The group pointed to the commitment to Armenian causes and global human
rights by the Middlesex Sheriff and former State Representative for
Waltham and Watertown. Koutoujian played a major role in the creation
of the Armenian Heritage Park at the Rose Kennedy Greenway in Boston,
according to a release.
"We stand with Peter Koutoujian as he embarks on his new path
to Congress. His leadership in Massachusetts and in the Armenian
American community has been steadfast and inspiring, and he has the
ANCA's full backing in this election process and beyond," said ANCA
National Board member Stephen Mesrobian in a statement.
ANCA is the largest Armenian American grassroots political organization
in the United States.
Koutoujian entered the race for the 5th Congressional seat on July 1.
He seeks to replace Ed Markey, who won the special senate election
in June. He thanked ACNA for the endorsement.
"I am humbled and honored to be endorsed by the Armenian National
Committee," Koutoujian said. "Along with other elected officials in
the state, I've been pleased to work on a range of issues important
to the Armenian community."
