The Front Lines of the Armenian Cause... LA County
A Message From ANCA Exec. Director Aram Hamparian Today, the front lines of the Armenian Cause run right through the Los Angeles City Council race, where front-runner State Assemblyman Paul Krekorian is facing a tidal wave of hateful and defamatory attacks from the allies of Turkey and Azerbaijan, simply because of his Armenian heritage.
