Mayor Garcetti on a strong and successful beginning to his newest
position of public service. She emphasized the importance of keeping
clear lines of communication open with the Armenian American community
and mentioned that the ANCA-WR looks forward to partnering with the
City of Los Angeles on a number of initiatives.
"Given the long-standing warm relationship between L.A. City Councilman
Eric Garcetti and the ANCA-WR and the Armenian-American community
in general, we were pleased to meet with Mayor Eric Garcetti and
his top-level staff, not only to congratulate him on his election
but also to discuss substantive issues of mutual concern, ranging
from participation of Armenian-Americans in his administration to
reinvigorating the sister city relationship between Los Angeles and
Yerevan," stated Hovsepian. She continued, "We were gratified to
reaffirm that Mayor Garcetti is deeply committed to maintaining
and further cultivating his relationship with our organization
and our community in his new position of public service, and we
enthusiastically look forward to working closely with him and his
team toward the achievement of our common goals."
The ANCA-WR discussed issues of mutual concern and benefit with the
Mayor's office. Topics discussed included finding innovative ways
to improve the Los Angeles Sister City relationship with Yerevan,

play a role in serving as a median between the community and the
initiatives proposed and implemented by the Mayor's office. "My Office
and I have always enjoyed a strong relationship with the Armenian
American community and the ANCA. I look forward to continuing our
partnership to improve the City of Los Angeles. My goal is to foster
leaders in every L.A. community," commented Mayor Garcetti.
