The Armenian National Committee-Western Region provided an analysis
of the genocide resolution pending in the US Congress to members
of the Mens Fellowship Club at the United Armenian Congregational
Church in Studio City on November 27, 2007. The briefing, provided by
ANC-WR Chairman Raffi Hamparian, gave the crowd of over 70 Armenian
Americans an opportunity to learn about the genocide resolution and
its consideration by the House Foreign Affairs Committee last month.
"The ANC-WR is pleased to have provided an educational presentation
to members of the Mens Fellowship Club," remarked ANC-WR Executive
Director Andrew Kzirian. "Whether it is providing educationals on
Armenian topics to Rotary and Kiwanis Clubs, or to Armenian groups, we
welcome engaging people on any number of Armenian issues. The briefing
that our chairman provided on the genocide resolution is part of a
broad grassroots effort to keep all Armenian Americans aware of the
challenges we have and continue to face in seeking justice for the
events of 1915," Kzirian added.
The Mens Fellowship Club at the United Armenian Congregational Church
regularly hosts speakers on a variety of religious and public policy
issues.
The ANC-WR briefing provided members a full accounting of the history
behind the genocide resolution sponsored by Representatives Adam Schiff
(D-CA) and George Radanovich (R-CA) and a synopsis of what may occur
to the bill during the second session of the 110th Congress which
begins next January.
