    ARMENIAN YOUTH FEDERATION - WESTERN UNITED STATES WELCOMED US HOUSE FOREIGN AFFAIRS COMMITTEE'S DECISION

    GLENDALE, MARCH 10, NOYAN TAPAN - ARMENIANS TODAY. The Armenian Youth
    Federation - Western United States - welcomed the March 4, 2010, vote
    by the Foreign Affairs Committee of the US House of Representatives
    to adopt the Armenian Genocide Resolution (H.Res.252). The AYF
    leadership and its membership are grateful to Committee Chairman
    Howard Berman for standing up to the Obama Administration, Turkish
    lobbyists, and the Turkish Government. Chairman Berman and the House
    Foreign Affairs Committee remained firm in recognizing the Armenian
    Genocide. Even though Turkey spends millions of dollars annually to
    spread misinformation about the Armenian Genocide, the decision by
    the US House Foreign Affairs Committee sends a signal to Turkey that
    it does not have a vote or veto in our Congress. The Armenian-American
    community has been and continues to encourage the passage of a similar
    bill in the Senate of the United States and proper acknowledgment of
    the Armenian Genocide by US President Barack Obama, whose campaign
    promise to Armenians was to stand by the truth.
