PAAIA Shares Findings of the 2009 Survey of Iranian Americans with
Members of Congress
Survey Reflected Prevailing Views Concerning Post Election Developments
in Iran
January 28, 2010, Washington, D.C. – Earlier this afternoon,
the Public Affairs Alliance of Iranian Americans (PAAIA) held a
congressional briefing to present the findings of its 2009 National
Public Opinion Survey of Iranian Americans. The national poll,
conducted by Zogby International, explored the attitudes and views of
Iranian Americans relating to recent developments in Iran.
Following the presentation of the findings by PAAIA’s
Executive Director, Dr. Mahasti Afshar, a panel of Iran experts was on
hand to discuss the potential implications of such results on U.S.
policy vis-à-vis Iran and how they should inform members of
Congress and other policymakers in formulating policy. The panelists
were: Geneive Abdo from The Century Foundation; Patrick Clawson from
the Washington Institute for Near East Policy; Kenneth Katzman from the
Congressional Research Service; and Ali Reza Nader from the RAND
Corporation.
“One of PAAIA’s core aspirations is to create a
representative, nationally recognized voice for Iranian
Americans,” explained Afshar. “This survey and
Congressional briefing serves that goal by making our
community’s voice heard, unfiltered and direct, in the halls
of Congress.”
Stay tuned, as PAAIA will provide more detailed reporting of this event
in the near future.
