Peter Koutoujian joined members of Armenian organizations for lunch
at the Armenian-American Social Club in Watertown on Monday
WATERTOWN-Middlesex County Sheriff Peter Koutoujian sat down with the
editorial team of The Armenian Weekly and representatives of Armenian
American organizations in Watertown yesterday to share the views and
values that motivated this veteran public servant to run for the 5th
District Congressional seat recently vacated by Rep. Edward Markey
following his successful Senate bid, reported Armenian National
Committee of America-Eastern Region (ANCA-ER).
"I am proud of my Armenian heritage and of my record of accomplishments
on behalf of the Armenian community and all the communities I
represent. I look forward to continuing that promise of hard work and
commitment if elected to Congress, and I thank the Armenian National
Committee of America's tremendously warm endorsement," Koutoujian said.
The ANCA has been an early and vocal supporter of Koutoujian's
congressional bid, citing his years of service to the Commonwealth
from prosecutor, to State Assemblyman and, now, Middlesex County
Sheriff. "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," explained
ANCA National Board member Stephen Mesrobian in the ANCA's July 3rd
endorsement statement.
Following his in-depth interview with the Armenian Weekly, Koutoujian
joined representatives of the ANCA, Armenian Relief Society (ARS),
Armenian Revolutionary Federation (ARF), Homenetmen, Hamazkayin,
and others for lunch at the Armenian-American Social Club in Watertown.
Koutoujian's leadership on community concerns extends throughout the
Massachusetts' 5th district, which includes the towns of Belmont,
Lexington, Waltham and Watertown - each with large and vibrant
Armenian-American presence.
He emphasized the fact that this election will have low voter turnout
and the importance of registering new voters, especially Armenian
Americans, who can help him claim victory in a few months.
"We're pleased to see Mr. Koutoujian actively seeking communication
with our core Armenian organizations, including the ANCA-ER," said
ANCA-ER Executive Director Michelle Hagopian. "He has a longstanding
track record of public service and loves his community, and we're
going to work hard to make sure he is elected to Congress come fall."
