On Friday, July 21, 2017, the ANCA-WR hosted a meeting with Hawaii Congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard at the organization’s headquarters in Glendale, with the participation of religious and lay leaders, including H.E. Archbishop Moushegh Mardirossian, Prelate, and members of the ARF Western U.S. Central Committee, ANCA National and Western Region, and Syrian Armenian Relief Fund.
Given Congresswoman’s military service in the Middle East and her knowledge on the region as a member of the House Foreign Affairs and Armed Services Committees, the discussion centered on the plight of Christians and other minorities in the Middle East.
