Activists Dr. Hovig Kouyoumdjian, Armineh Mazian, and Lara Nercessian met with Bishop Monday afternoon and discussed local and national issues, which included the state of the Armenian community in Michigan\u2019s 8th Congressional district, the Armenian Genocide resolution H.Res. 154, and the Royce-Engel bipartisan congressional sign-on letter which calls for renewed U.S. leadership in keeping the peace along the Nagorno-Karabagh line of contact.<\/p>\n

Rep. Bishop recently signed the Royce-Engel bipartisan congressional letter \u2013 a peace proposal supported by the current administration, and by many representatives from both sides of the aisle.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe thank Rep. Mike Bishop for his support for the Armenian community both in Michigan and in the United States, and look forward to advancing the relationship between his office and the Armenian American community here in Michigan,\u201d said Nercessian, ANC of Michigan Chairperson.<\/p>\n

The ANC of Michigan discussed many issues with the Congressman, including the self-determination and independence of the Republic of Nagorno-Karabagh (Artsakh), foreign aid to Armenia, and commemoration of the Armenian Genocide Centennial in Michigan.<\/p>\n
