Los Angeles, November 2, Armenpress: The idea of establishing an elected body of Armenians in Los Angeles, USA, is being floated among local Armenians. An initiating group issued a statement saying the elected body is to represent the Armenian community's interests.
"The strong potential of the Diaspora Armenians is neglected. Some people even call it derogatively 'colony' and even 'a ghetto,' and now it is time to make the voice of 'the ghetto' heard,' the statement says. It says that all Diaspora Armenians, regardless of their political affiliations, religious and social belonging can be elected to the proposed body. It also calls on Armenians in Los Angeles area to rally around this idea.
Some Armenians are enthusiastic about the idea, others, though, believe if materialized there will be one more Armenian organization.
