BIPARTISAN SUPPORT FOR ARMENIAN GENOCIDE RESOLUTION GROWS, COSPONSORS
REACH 100
Washington, DC - "H. Res. 252, the Armenian Genocide Resolution, has
crossed a threshold with the bi-partisan support of 100 cosponsors,
reported the Armenian Assembly of America (Assembly). "Reaffirmation of
the Armenian Genocide took another step forward today," stated Assembly
Executive Director Bryan Ardouny. "As we mark Genocide Prevention Month
throughout April and the anniversary of the Armenian Genocide on April
24, support continues to build for unequivocal U.S. affirmation. By
affirming the Armenian Genocide, we further the cause of genocide
prevention," added Ardouny.
H. Res. 252, a congressional resolution which reaffirms the historical
record of the United States on the Armenian Genocide, was modeled after
H. Res. 106, which passed the House Committee on Foreign Affairs during
the 110th Congress. H. Res. 252, was introduced 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).
In January, the Assembly launched a website,
ArmenianGenocideAffirmation.com, dedicated to U.S. affirmation of the
Armenian Genocide. The website affords visitors the opportunity to send
a letter to President Barack Obama or their respective Member of
Congress, view the current list of all H. Res. 252 co-sponsors, join the
Assembly's facebook group or become an Ambassador of Affirmation, as
well as view its latest video messages.
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.
