    Adam Schiff Seeking Response from White House and State Department to
    Ara K. Manoogian's Open Letter to U.S. President Obama

    Burbank, CA ` On March 21, 2013, Ara K. Manoogian, a human rights
    activist, visited U.S. Congressional Representative Adam Schiff's
    office in Burbank, CA, to inquire whether there was any response from
    the Congressman to his open letter to U.S. President Barack Obama (or
    watch the video), dated March 12, 2013. Ann M. Peifer, District Director
    in Schiff's Burbank field office, informed Manoogian that `he is
    aware of the letter'. However, she added that she did not have a
    conclusive answer that she could give to the press.

    On March 22, 2013, a day after the visit to Congressional Representative
    Schiff's Burbank office, Ara Manoogian received a phone call from the
    Congressman's headquarters in Washington, DC. Timothy Bergreen, the
    Congressman's Chief of Staff at the U.S. House of Representatives,
    informed Manoogian that he had called the White House at the
    Congressman's request and asked them for a response to Manoogian's
    open letter to President Obama. `He [Adam Schiff] has also asked to
    send it to the State Department, and so we are going to send it to our
    contacts there and try to get it to the Secretary's hands and to get
    you a written response from both of them,' he said. Bergreen added
    that it may take weeks before a response can be expected.

    Manoogian had begun his hunger strike on March 17, 2013, as a sign of
    disapproval for U.S. President Obama's premature congratulatory note
    to the incumbent, Serzh Sargsyan, regarding the latter's re-election
    in Armenia's presidential election. He is holding his hunger strike in
    fro
    he Adam Schiff's Burbank field office at 245 East Olive
    Avenue, Burbank, CA 91502. Manoogian further alludes to overwhelming
    evidence that the election on February 18, 2013, was rigged in favor of
    said incumbent. U.S.-born Raffi Hovannisian, who, per the Central
    Electoral Committee, is the presidential runner-up, has been holding a
    hunger strike in Yerevan, Armenia, since March 10, 2013, challenging the
    skewed official results and demanding that Serzh Sargsyan step down.
