YEREVAN, JUNE 28, ARMENPRESS: The Armenian National Committee of
Illinois hosted a community reception for Congressman Michael Grimm,
Republican Co-Chairman of the Congressional Armenian Caucus. The
event was attended by members from the broad cross-section of the
Chicago ArmenianAmerican community, reports Armenpress citing the
ANC of Illinois.
ANC of Illinois Chairman Claude Ohanesian hosted the event, which was
an opportunity for the local community to get to know the new Co-Chair,
now in his second term. When Grimm first ran for Congress, he defeated,
with the assistance of the ANC of NY, one of the strongest friends
of Turkey in the U.S. House of Representatives, Michael McMahon.
At the reception, Rep. Grimm spoke about issues important to the
Armenian American community, including a truthful and just resolution
of the Armenian Genocide, Turkey's return of Church properties
stolen during and after the Genocide, the economic well being of
Armenia, including increasing trade between the US andArmenia, and
self-determination for the Nagorno-Karabakh Republic.
"I look forward to continuing my service as the Co-Chairman of the
Armenian Congressional Caucus and to the opportunity of being appointed
to the House Foreign Affairs Committee if a vacancy occurs.
If considered, I would then be in an even better position to advance
Armenian issues, which includes working with Committee Chair Rep. Ed
Royce (R-CA-39) on House Resolution 227," Rep. Grimm shared with
the crowd.
Rep. Grimm is an original co-sponsor of the Armenian Genocide Truth
and Justice Act (H.Res.227), and he has proven himself as a vocal
and effective advocate of Armenian issues.
"Congressman Grimm has a proven track record of success among Armenian
Americans. He is a defender of justice and works hard to make our
community's views and values a priority for the United States. We
look forward to continued collaboration with him as he pursues new
and increasingly influential roles in Congress," said ANCA Chairman
Ken Hachikian.
