"We extend our thanks to President-elect Obama for this choice
and our congratulations to Senator Clinton on her appointment to
our nation's top diplomatic post," said Aram Hamparian, Executive

the first time in recent memory, an individual with a strong record
in support of Armenian Genocide recognition will serve as America's

the Armenian Genocide, and also cosponsored every Armenian Genocide
Resolution since coming into office in 2001. On January 24th of this
