Yegparian: How Sweet It Is
Paul Krekorian won the election for LA’s second council district seat!
This is a credit to very good organization, outreach to the many communities and components that make up that weirdly gerrymandered district, and also a very respectable turnout and effort by the Armenian community and ANC. It’s also proof that organization can trump money. If you add up the cash raised by each campaign itself, the money received from the city’s matching fund, and the independent expenditures made by outside groups (supporting their candidate or opposing the other one), the totals look like this, rounded to the nearest thousand:

The anti-Semitic, sexist, and generally hateful charge has been engineered by Ergun Kirlikovali against Armenians for years. He unjustly accuses Armenians who he feels are successfully promoting the Armenian Cause. He works behind the schenes, often impersonating Jewish-Americans to spew anti-Armenian propaganda and to create antagonisms. He works diligently to drag Armenians through the mud and to neutralize them. This man’s modus operandi should be exposed in the media.
Congrats Paul! You have made us all very proud. An important victory that has brought smiles to faces of thousands of Armenian Americans from the east coast to the west coast. Your consistent work ethic and civility, despite the hate and outright bigotry emanating from misguided opponents, proved just how courageous, dignified and determined you are.
Paul, your victory is our community’s victory and in turn America’s. Well done and may your inspiration, leadership and vision empower other motivated Armenian Americans to achieve more in the future.
Vartzget Gadar.
MERRY CHRISTMAS AND HAPPY NEW YEAR.

Pari Dzenoont yev Shnorhavor Nor Dury!
Garen, thanks for this wonderful article. Keep up the great work, not the least of which is keeping a sleepy community abreast of its failings and in this case, a success. Kudos to Krekorian.
Congrats to Mr. Krekorian, you make us all proud and you’re a credit to all of us in the east coast, west coast to the Armenian Americans. I also echo the heartfelt sentiments by Sevag above.
