ANCA WR leadership with California Assembly Speaker John Perez
SACRAMENTO--Following the unanimous passage of the Armenian Genocide
resolution authored and introduced by California Assembly Speaker John
Perez, leaders of the Armenian National Committee of America-Western
Region held a private meeting with the Speaker to thank him for his
leadership and support and to discuss issues of importance to the
Armenian-American community.
At the front seat of topics discussed were ongoing effort to
secure recognition of Artsakh (Nagorno-Karabakh Republic) by the
California legislature, the recent attacks facilitated by Turkey
resulting in displacement of Armenians in Kessab, Syria, as well
as the organization's centennial project "America, We Thank You"
highlighting the massive relief efforts made by the United States
during the Armenian Genocide through the Near East Relief.
"We are extremely grateful to Speaker Perez who was so moved by the
experience of his legislative trip to Armenia with the ANCA-WR last
fall, that he highlighted the authority of his office by personally
introducing the Armenian Genocide resolution this year. We were also
gratified to be able to meet privately with the Speaker once again
for our ongoing discussions about the current situations our brethren
face in Artsakh and in Kessab, and we look forward to his continued
leadership on issues of concern to California's large Armenian-American
constituency," stated ANCA WR Chair Nora Hovsepian.
