American Armenians Storm the Capitol

For the first time during the last several decades the Armenian community of USA has got a real chance to elect their representative to Congress.

February 11, 2006
USA is going to hold intermediate Congress elections on which the Armenian community of America pins certain hopes. Not waiting till the upcoming elections, US Armenians decided to take advantage of the fact that after Californian Congressman Randy Cunningham's resignation the place of South Californian representative in the lower chamber of the parliament has remained vacant. The Republican Party has proposed the candidature of our compatriot Howard Kalugyan. Armenian organizations in America are mobilizing all resources to properly support the candidate. There are good grounds to hope that during June elections Kalugyan will greatly advance in career. Being considered the most perspective American politician of Armenian origin Howard Kalugyan enjoys the support of the whole Armenian community of America.
