FRESNO, Calif. (KSEE/KGPE) – The Central Valley is home to nearly 150,000 Armenians. This year's presidential election between Donald Trump and Kamala Harris has Armenians in California, and all over the country, on edge. Although not every Armenian votes the same, many are considering the fate of their homeland when they turn in their ballot. “What you vote for, it matters not only in this country but around the world as well,” Fresno resident Sevag Tateosian said. Fresno Armenians, like Sevag Tateosian, are yet to make a final decision in the presidential race. “As an Armenian-American, we can’t forget the past that has happened with the Armenians and the genocide. And then more recently in 2020, in Artsakh,” Tateosian said. Approximately 1.5 million Armenians call the United States home, and nearly 150,000 people with Armenian roots live in the Central Valley.  “There are a lot of people, believe it or not, that are undecided. And we're not only talking about the presidential race, you know, down the ticket. The congressional races are important. The local county races are important, the local school board races are important,” Tateosian said. Over time, Armenian issues have garnered support from Central Valley lawmakers on both sides of the aisle.  “Congressman Valadao has been to Nagorno-Karabakh, He's been to Artsakh and has been a staunch advocate of U.S. assistance to Artsakh. Across the aisle, you have Jim Costa, who has been, you know, such a dear friend who has a number of Armenians on his staff as well, just a great champion for Armenian issues,” Armenian National Committee of America’s Executive Director Aram Hamparian said. The ANCA is not endorsing a presidential candidate. “During the Trump-Pence administration and during the Biden-Harris administration, our government armed the government of Azerbaijan, which committed a genocide against the Armenians of Nagorno-Karabakh, what we call Artsakh, they abandoned Armenians during a very desperate time,” Hamparian said. Hamparian says Armenian-Americans aren’t only voting for America's future. “Whoever is elected will profoundly impact the direction of U.S. foreign policy and frankly, the fate of war and peace for the planet,” Hamparian said. Hamparian said both Trump and Harris’ campaigns have reached out to the ANCA and have "helped center Armenian issues in the American electoral arena."
