Congressman Adam Schiff met with the Armenian community of Hollywood at the event organized by the Armenian National Committee of America, Hollywood Chapter on January 15.

“We are genuinely happy to welcome Congressman Schiff to our Armenian community. Should he become our next representative, he will be faced with new challenges particular to the Little Armenia and East Hollywood district, but we are sure that he will be able to work well with our community,” said ANCA of Hollywood board member Tereza Yerimyan.

Congressman Schiff, in his turn, was grateful for the chance to meet members of the Hollywood community and hear their concerns.

“I want to thank the ANCA of Hollywood for a wonderful Town Hall this weekend. It was a great opportunity to meet with residents of Hollywood and hear their thoughts and concerns on issues. I’m very excited to have the opportunity to represent this vibrant part of the Armenian community and I'm grateful for their encouragement and support,” said the Congressman.

As a current representative of California’s 29th Congressional District, an area with a high population density of Armenian Americans, Schiff has continued to address the community’s concerns, sponsoring the Armenian Genocide Resolution each year and helping, recently, see the passage of the Return of Churches Resolution on the House floor, which calls on the Republic of Turkey to return stolen Christian church properties to their rightful owners.
