APRIL GENOCIDE PREVENTION MONTH
ARMENIAN ASSEMBLY VIDEO URGES CONTINUED CONGRESSIONAL ACTION
Washington, DC - "With April designated as Genocide prevention month,
now is the time to make certain that this April 24, the Armenian
Genocide is unequivocally affirmed by President Barack Obama," said
Armenian Assembly of America (Assembly) Executive Director Bryan
Ardouny. "We encourage activists and all people of good will to take
action to ensure that President Obama and Congress affirm the truth."
In January 2009, with the start of the new Administration and Congress,
the Assembly launched a website, ArmenianGenocideAffirmation.com,
specifically dedicated to U.S. affirmation of the Armenian Genocide. The
website affords visitors with the opportunity to send a letter to
President Barack Obama or their respective Member of Congress, join the
Assembly's facebook group or become an Ambassador of Affirmation, as
well as view our latest video messages.
Last month, H. Res. 252, the Armenian Genocide Resolution, was
introduced shortly after the Assembly's National Advocacy Conference, by
Reps. Adam Schiff (D-CA), George Radanovich (R-CA) and Congressional
Caucus on Armenian Issues Co-Chairmen, Frank Pallone, Jr. (D-NJ) and
Mark Kirk (R-IL). It currently boasts 88 co-sponsors.
Established in 1972, the Armenian Assembly of America is the largest
Washington-based nationwide organization promoting public understanding
and awareness of Armenian issues. The Assembly is a 501(c) (3)
tax-exempt membership organization.
