The majority of the American Armenian community has not yet decided whom to support in the upcoming US presidential elections.

Anthony Barsamian, co-chairman of the Armenian Assembly of America Board of Trustees, told about the above-said to the Voice of America Armenian service. He added that this time, however, American Armenians will not expect any promises.

In Barsamian’s words, even though American Armenians certainly hope that the presidential candidates will fulfill their promises should they win, the Armenian community will show another approach in supporting candidates in these elections. 

As per Barsamian, this time American Armenians will focus not solely on the pledges to formally recognize Armenian Genocide, but on the development of Armenian-American relations, and the US assistance being allocated to Armenia. 

In addition, according to Anthony Barsamian, American Armenians expect that Armenian professionals living in the US be included in the new US administration.
