/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.
