ANCA Desk: The Importance of Activating Our Local ANCs
It’s no secret that the power of most Armenian organizations lies within our local communities. From California to New York, and everywhere in between, we rely on our local leaders to step up, motivate others, and produce results.

Although all the 7 suggestions must be done on a local basis, no mention on the what must be done now to have Washington recognize our long delayed & well documented Armenian Genocide for the 100th Anniversary in the year 2015. My suggestions which should be started now is to get petitions written up and send to the State Dept., the President, & the new Secretary of State, John Kerry with millions of signatures signed not only by Armenians, Greeks & Assyrians, but also the American public. Also, a must is demonstrations not only in Washington but in all major cities through out the country. Demonstrations should also be done in front of the Israeli Embassy in Washington whom does not recognize our Genocide. The ANCA must also work with the Armenian Embassy & the Armenian Government to have our issues passed. The last issue is to push for a U.S. Postal Souvenir Sheet as well as the United Nations Postal System to issue a stamp for the 100th Anniversary of our Armenian Genocide. A year ago I sent letters to all Organizations & Church Groups on this issue but no response. We are all too slow in bringing our people together on a United basis.
