    ANCA WELCOMES MARKEY SENATE VICTORY

    The Armenian National Committee of America Eastern Region (ANCA-ER)
    joined with friends from across the Massachusetts Armenian community
    in celebrating Congressman Ed Markey's victory in Tuesday night's
    special Senate election. Markey (D-MA-5) led at the ballot box against
    Republican businessman Gabriel Gomez throughout the day and won by
    a 10-point margin.

    "We are very excited to see Rep. Ed Markey assume this new role in his
    career of public service. The ANCA of Massachusetts joins with Armenian
    Americans from across the state and country in welcoming his victory,
    and we look forward to his continued leadership on issues of concern
    to our community," said Mikael Garabedian of ANCA-Massachusetts,
    who was among the Armenian-American contingent on hand to celebrate
    Rep. Markey's success at his victory party.

    Since he was first elected to the U.S. House of Representatives
    in 1976, Rep. Markey has been a strong and consistent advocate on
    Armenian issues, receiving multiple "A+" ratings from the ANCA in
    its Congressional Report Card.

    Rep. Markey has been outspoken in support of U.S. reaffirmation
    of the Armenian Genocide, cosponsoring all related legislation
    introduced in the U.S. House, including the Armenian Genocide Truth
    and Justice Resolution (H.Res.227), introduced in May of this year. In
    his annual Armenian Genocide commemorative statement submitted for
    the Congressional Record this year, Rep. Markey explained, "Almost
    one-hundred years have passed since the Armenian Genocide, yet the
    suffering will continue for Armenians and non-Armenians alike as long
    as the world allows denial to prevail."
