LOS ANGELES, MAY 29, NOYAN TAPAN - ARMENIANS TODAY. Congressman Xavier
Becerra continues his support to the resolution on recognition of
the Armenian Genocide, which was authored by another Congressman

America and the Armenian National Committee of America. He noted
that regardless of the strong relationship between USA and Turkey
the Armenian Genocide should be recognized.

Assembly appreciates him as an active member of the Armenian Caucus
and as a cosponsor of H. Res.252, the Armenian Genocide Resolution.
