Summer may be over, but the California Legislature's travel season
is just getting started.
This week, a group of current and former state lawmakers, led
by Speaker of the Assembly John Perez, D-Los Angeles, returns to
the state following a 10-day trip to Armenia. According to multiple
Armenian news outlets, the trip is intended to strengthen ties between
the country and California, the "motherland" of the largest Armenian
diaspora community in the United States.
"We are hopeful that this first in kind mission would leave a
lasting impact and contribute to strengthening political contacts
between the Republic of Armenia and the great State of California -
home to hundreds of thousands of compatriots," Grigor Hovhannissian,
the former Consul General of Armenia, said in advance of the trip.
