    Addressing a crowd of Armenian and Hellenic activists, Congressman
    Xavier Becerra (D-CA) reaffirmed his support for U.S. affirmation
    of the Armenian Genocide, reported the Armenian Assembly of America
    (Assembly).

    At an event cosponsored by the Assembly, along with the American
    Hellenic Council of America and the Armenian National Committee of
    America, Rep.

    Becerra stated, "As a close friend and ally of Armenia, it is long
    past time for us to recognize the historical fact of the genocide
    committed against the Armenian people at the turn of the last
    century - a historical fact that should be recognized, and learned
    from regardless of the strong relationship that exists between us
    [and Turkey]. That is why I continue to be a strong supporter and
    cosponsor of Rep. Adam Schiff's 'Affirmation of the United States
    Record on the Armenian Genocide Resolution' in Congress."

    "As an advocate for human rights issues, Congressman Becerra
    has demonstrated his unwavering support to the Armenian-American
    community. The Assembly appreciates his steadfast support as an active
    member of the Armenian Caucus and as a cosponsor of H. Res.252,
    the Armenian Genocide Resolution," stated Assembly Western Region
    Director, Yeghig L. Keshishian.
