Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA) issued a video message, congratulating
Armenians on the occasion of the 21st anniversary of Independence.
`As we recognize the 21st anniversary of the Independence of the
Republic of Armenia, I rejoice with the dynamic Armenian community,
which I represent, and proudly say `Urakh ankakhutyan or' (Happy
Independence Day),' Adam Schiff said in the message.
`Congratulations to the people of Armenia, to Armenians in America and
around the world on this joyous day. The road to independence has not
always been easy, but time has proven that Armenians are survivors,
survivors of foreign domination and survivors of the first genocide of
the 20th century,' he said.
`To this day the American Armenians continue to illustrate what a
valuable asset they are to our society, breaking new ground
economically, socially and politically in California and across the
nation,' he added.
`Over years I've been privileged to work with many individuals in the
Armenian community to end our Government's tragic failure to recognize
the Armenian Genocide, to ensure the victims receive just compensation
and to secure aid to Armenia and Nagorno Karabakh.'
`As a friend to the Armenian community, I'm honored to join you in
commemorating this momentous anniversary. Congratulations to the
government of Armenia and to the global Armenian community,' the
Congressman concluded.
