Congressional elections provide new opportunities to promote Armenian issues: Brian Ardoni.
The results of the mid-term congressional elections in the United States and changes in the balance of power may create new opportunities for promoting Armenian issues. The CEO of the Armenian Assembly of America, Brian Ardoni, stated this in the Alpha News studio. Referring to the results of the vote, he noted that there were significant changes in the balance of power in Congress, emphasizing that the organization is guided by a non-partisan principle in its activities, while focusing on specific political issues and problems.
The "blue wave", the "blue tsunami" (the color of the Democratic Party - editor), I think in general it's good, although, of course, we wouldn't want it to happen in California. However, as a result of the congressional elections, many changes are taking place in terms of the balance of power. We are a non-partisan organization and focus on specific policies and issues. Therefore, overall, despite everything, this is a positive development. A number of our members have been re-elected, and new allies gained will occupy higher positions. For example, Congressman Chris Pappas, formerly a member of the House of Representatives, is now elected to the Senate. There are similar examples in Michigan as well: one of the senators, who adhered to a pro-Armenian position, also won and will serve in the Senate. Therefore, we are looking at what opportunities may open up to advance the Armenian agenda," Ardoni said.
Speaking about the work of the Armenian Assembly of America, he emphasized that the organization does not interfere in the processes of nomination or selection of candidates for positions, considering public information and educational activities as its priorities.
"The Armenian Assembly of America does not nominate or endorse candidates for any office.
