    ANC-ILLINOIS SITS DOWN WITH REP. BRAD SCHNEIDER

    By Contributor // September 23, 2013

    LINCOLNSHIRE, Ill.-The Armenian National Committee (ANC) of Illinois
    took issues of importance to Armenians in the 10th Congressional
    District of Illinois to Rep. Brad Schneider (D) on Mon., Sept. 16. The
    group included ANCA Chairman Ken Hachikian and ANC of Illinois Chairman
    Claude Ohanesian.

    Discussion centered on House Resolution 227, the Armenian Genocide
    Truth and Justice Resolution, and the situation in Syria. The ANC of
    Illinois expressed its concern over Armenians in the region and the
    safety of all Syrians.

    "Rep. Schneider was very receptive to our concerns and we thank
    him for a terrific meeting. We hope to continue to cultivate our
    relationship with him as he learns more about Armenian-American
    issues," said Ohanesian.

    Schneider, who is on the House Foreign Affairs Committee, also
    heard concerns of the local ANC on such issues as the return of
    Christian properties and foreign aid to Armenia, as well as the
    self-determination of Nagorno-Karabagh (Artsakh), the 25th anniversary
    of its independence, and Azeri aggression in the Caucuses.

    The meeting followed a busy month in August for the ANCA Eastern
    Region that saw many local ANCs meeting with representatives in their
    districts while Congress was in recess.
