Armenian American U.S. House members Congresswoman Anna Eshoo and Congresswoman Jackie Speier were joined by a dozen Congressional colleagues in welcoming Anna Hakobyan – journalist, philanthropist, and wife of Armenia Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan – to the U.S. Capitol today.
Hakobyan stressed the importance of expanding U.S.-Armenia ties and broader peace in the region. Hakobyan is on a 17-day tour of the U.S. with stops in Washington, DC, Boston, Los Angeles, and Memphis to raise funds for various charities she chairs and meet with the Armenian American community.
