    IT IS CRITICALLY IMPORTANT FOR US TO RECOGNIZE ARMENIAN GENOCIDE, US
    CONGRESSMAN CONSIDERS

    21.03.2005 03:52

    /PanARMENIAN.Net/ Representative James Langevin, a well-known champion
    of Armenian issues, is urging President Bush to follow the example
    of other leading US public officials and formally recognize the
    Armenian Genocide in his statement of remembrance next month, the
    Armenian Assembly of America reported. Langevin, in a statement issued
    yesterday to Congress, urged Bush to properly label the atrocities
    as U.S. Ambassador to Armenia John Evans so candidly did during his
    meetings with Armenian-Americans throughout the U.S. last month. During
    those public exchanges, Evans declared that "the Armenian Genocide
    was the first genocide of the twentieth century." "Therefore,
    it is critically important that the United States speak with one
    voice in condemning the horrors committed against the Armenians,"
    he concluded. In other news, Langevin this week signed his support to
    a congressional letter to President Bush, asking that he acknowledge
    this crime against humanity.
