Congressional Armenian Genocide Resolution author Adam Schiff (D-CA)
will join ANCA Chairman Ken Hachikian for a nationally televised
Townhall meeting on Sunday March 28th to discuss ongoing efforts to
secure the adoption of this genocide-prevention measure by the full
U.S. House of Representatives.
"As a grassroots group devoted to empowering our community, we are
truly excited to offer this opportunity for Armenian Americans to take
part in this Sunday's live, televised townhall meeting on the Armenian
Genocide Resolution," said ANC-WR Chairwoman Aida Dimejian. "We
especially look forward to hearing Representatives Schiff and Sherman
discuss their efforts to pass this legislation and to answering the
questions submitted online by viewers across the United States."
Introduced in March of 2009 by lead sponsors Adam Schiff and George
Radanovich (R-CA), and Congressional Armenian Caucus Co-chairs Frank
Pallone (D-NJ) and Mark Kirk (R-IL), H.Res.252 currently has 141
cosponsors. A parallel Senate measure, spearheaded by Senators Bob
Menendez (D- NJ) and John Ensign (R-NV), has 14 cosponsors.
The Armenian Genocide resolution calls upon the President to ensure
that the foreign policy of the United States reflects appropriate
understanding and sensitivity concerning issues related to human
rights, ethnic cleansing, and genocide documented in the United States
record relating to the Armenian Genocide.
