Three-term Michigan House Member Thaddeus McCotter (R-MI-11) pledged
his support for legislation concerning Turkey's 15-year blockade of
Armenia during a meeting this week with Armenian National Committee
of America (ANCA) activists.
The resolution, H.R. 6079, introduced by Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA-29),
requires the State Department to submit a report outlining the steps
taken and plans made by the United States to end Turkey's blockade
of Armenia.
During the thirty-minute meeting, Michigan resident Nieri Avanessian,
ANCA Government Affairs Director Kate Nahapetian, and activist Zori
Eurdekian thanked Rep. McCotter for his support of Armenian American
concerns and especially his cosponsorship of the Armenian Genocide
Resolution (H. Res.
106). The meeting also provided an opportunity to discuss other issues
of interest, including continued US aid to Armenia, reducing military
assistance to Azerbaijan, and self-determination for the people of
Nagorno Karabagh.
