WASHINGTON (A.W.)—Vice President-elect Mike Pence named Armenian-American Ken Nahigian to serve as the Executive Director of the Trump-Pence Presidential Transition on Jan. 18.
Nahigian, who began working on Trump’s campaign in the summer of 2016, will step into the position this week, the transition team’s press release reported.
Rick Dearborn, who is being replaced by Nahigian, will start his new position as Trump’s deputy chief of staff after Trump is inaugurated Friday.
“The transition is in capable hands with Ken Nahigian, who has tirelessly supported it from day one and will carry it through the finish line,” said Dearborn.
In his position as head of President-Elect Support, Nahigian supervised all strategic planning for Trump, Pence, their families, and all cabinet/staff nominees.
“I’m honored that the president-elect, vice president-elect, and Rick Dearborn have entrusted me with this responsibility, and it is my honor to continue my service to this new administration,” said Nahigian.
This is shameful. Utterly shameful. Leading the ushering in of a fascist. SMH
The “shameful” comment is inappropriate.
No one respects women more than I do. Wait, wrong line. I meant: No one is more democratic than I am. But, Trump is who this country has voted into office and that’s that.
I congratulate Ken in his promotion and hope he can provide a perspective in line with our cultural views and values to the now confirmed, presiding president.
Does anyone know Pres.Trump’s position on passage of the Armenian Genocide Resolution or Artsahk (NK)?
I think if presented with the facts he would sign it and endorse it.
It’s shameful and an embarrassment that our country can’t/won’t do that.
Maybe Ken can help?
I take it you believe everything our fake news reports hopefully Trump will prove you wrong which will prove how tainted our media is
And what if he, as i predict, is the Turkish poster child and completely helps deny the AG and actually helps the Azeri’s via Tillerson, the EXXON thief? Also we all knew the 2 faces of Hillary Clinton but I dont hold my breath to this opprtunist either. Our allegiance should be with ARMENIA and not any politician or party here.
