The Armenian National Committee of America \u2013 Western Region<\/a> today announced plans to host its first Texas Advocacy Day on April 14, 2015 in Austin, Texas.<\/p>\n

Expected to draw community groups, members, and activists from across the State, this one \u2013day event is designed to connect constituents with their elected officials and bring the united voice of the Armenian-American community to the Texas Capitol.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs we continue to work toward the reaffirmation of the Armenian Genocide nationally and internationally, it is imperative to also focus our attention closer to home and educate Texas legislators on the historical importance of the Armenian Genocide, Artsakh\u2019s continuous struggle and right to self-determination and its impact on current affairs,\u201d stated Elen Asatryan, ANCA-WR Executive Director. \u201cWe call on every Armenian-American and human rights activist in the State of Texas to join us on this historic day as our presence in Austin is critical, particularly in the face of the increased Turkish and Azeri lobby in the State,\u201d added Asatryan.<\/p>\n

The day\u2019s activities will include community briefings, capitol tours, and meeting with state legislators. During the meetings, participants will educate their representatives on the proud chapter in Texas\u2019 history that saved the Armenian nation from annihilation during the Armenian Genocide and advocate for issues of importance to the Armenian-American community including recognition of the Armenian Genocide and recognition and self-determination of Artsakh amongst other topics. The ANCA WR Texas Advocacy Day will come just days before the Texas 100th Anniversary Commemoration of the Armenian Genocide scheduled on April 18th on the steps of the State Capitol building.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe advocacy day organized by ANCA WR is a unique opportunity to be engaged as our civic duty and to promote issues of concern before elected officials. This is the first of its kind to be held in Texas. I look forward to making this a great first experience and get as many Texas Armenians involved on this day which will prove to the Texas legislators the importance of the Armenian communities around Texas and to bring the Armenian Cause to the forefront of the Texas Legislators,\u201dstated ANCA Houston Chair, Vrouir Frankian.<\/p>\n
