U.S. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) - one of America's most
powerful and principled legislators - is slated to be honored at the
Armenian National Committee of America - Western Region's Annual
Banquet on October 28, 2012.
Senator Reid, who heads the Democratic Majority of the Senate, has
been a longstanding friend of Nevada's Armenian community and an
enduring voice, working at the very highest reaches of the U.S.
Congress, in support of the views and values of Armenian American
voters nationwide. He will, in honor of his service and support for
the national and democratic aspirations of the Armenian people,
receive the ANCA Freedom Award, the organization's highest and most
prestigious award before a capacity crowd at the Beverly Hilton Hotel.
"I am honored and humbled to receive this auspicious award from the
Armenian National Committee of America," said Senate Majority Leader
Harry Reid. "The Armenian American community has made significant
contributions to this nation, and I have been proud to represent a
vibrant community in Nevada. Since coming to Congress, I have been
fortunate to have been able to work with my friends in this community
to pursue peace, truth, and justice around the world. I look forward
to continuing this important partnership in years to come."
Senator Reid, during his time in both the majority and minority
leaderships of the Senate, has been a powerful force for issues of
special concern to Armenian Americans, most notably in terms of his
steadfast support for full and formal U.S. recognition of the Armenian
Genocide. Beyond co-sponsoring every resolution seeking Senate
recognition of the Armenian Genocide, he has, from his high office,
spoken passionately to return America to the right side of this
fundamental human rights issue. He played, very notably, a very
prominent role in supporting the powerful and principled stand by
Senator Robert Menendez (D-NJ) in successfully blocking the
confirmation of President Bush's nominee, Richard Hoagland, to replace
John Marshall Evans (who had been recalled due to his honest
statements about the Armenian Genocide) as Ambassador to Armenia, due
to his statements denying the Armenian Genocide.
