    Armen Anooshian, Hera Armenian Esq., Congressman Dr. Joe Heck (NV-R),
    and Andy Armenian

    LAS VEGAS--Representatives from St. Garabed Armenian Church of Las
    Vegas, the Armenian-American Cultural Society, and the Armenian
    National Committee of America (ANCA) met with Congressman Dr. Joe
    Hack to provide him with an update regarding the rapidly growing
    Armenian-American community in Southern Nevada.

    Andy Armenian discussed the construction of the St. Garabed Armenian
    Church and the recently completed Cultural Center in the Church
    complex.

    Armen Anooshian elaborated on the roots of the Las Vegas Armenian
    community, who 100 years earlier were displaced during the Armenian
    Genocide in Ottoman Turkey; some of whom eventually settled in the
    Greater Las Vegas area, and are proud to call Southern Nevada their
    home in the oasis.

    Hera Armenian indicated that many Armenians living in Las Vegas still
    have family members in Syria who have suffered a tremendous loss in
    property as well as many casualties. She then thanked the Congressman
    for his stand not to supply arms to the Rebel Syrian Army, who are
    strengthening the Islamic State's position against the Syrian people.

    Congressman Heck thanked the visitors, who agreed to continue updating
    Congressman Heck with ongoing Armenian-American community developments.

    Congressman Joe Heck represents the 3rd Congressional District
    of Nevada.
