BOSTON, APRIL 24, NOYAN TAPAN - ARMENIANS TODAY. Over 82 Members of
the Massachusetts House of Representatives, including the Speaker
of the House Robert A. DeLeo filed a House Resolution urging the
U.S. Congress to renew their efforts in recognizing the Armenian
Genocide of 1915. State Representative Peter J. Koutoujian, a
descendent of the Armenian Genocide, led his fellow colleagues in a
final push, just one day before April 24th, the day Armenians around
the world recognize and commemorate this tragic event, reported the
Armenian National Committee of Eastern Massachusetts.
The Resolution urges the United States Congress to approve House
Resolution 252 and recognize the Armenian Genocide. Currently 9 of
the 10 Congressional members in the Massachusetts Delegation are
cosponsors.
ANCA reminds that earlier this week, Congressman McGovern (D-3),
who represents Worcester, MA and neighboring cities, urged President
Obama to recognize the Armenian Genocide. In his remarks he commented
"When is the right time? When the last survivor, the last witness,
is no longer with us?"
