Two of the leading Greek and Armenian American advocacy organizations in favor of five million citizens from the U.S. jointly requested President Barack Obama and former Massachusetts Governor Romney to stop their silence on Armenian and Greek issues.
“As two of the leading Greek and Armenian American advocacy organizations, we join together today in calling upon President Obama and Governor Romney to publicly present the specific principles, priorities, and policies that would guide their Administration’s actions on issues of special concern to our nation’s nearly 5 million citizens of Greek and Armenian heritage,” said Executive Director of Armenian National Committee of America Aram Hamparian and President of American Hellenic Institute Nick Larigakis.
Both the American Hellenic Institute (AHI) and the Armenian National Committee of America (ANCA) have, separately, written to both the Obama-Biden and the Romney-Ryan presidential campaigns, supplying them candidate questionnaires, and inviting them to share their views with voters.
