    CONGRESSMAN JOSEPH KENNEDY COSPONSORS HOUSE RESOLUTIUN 227

    23:28, 6 December, 2013

    The Armenian National Committee of Massachusetts (ANC-MA) has
    welcomed first-term Congressman Joseph Kennedy's (D-MA-4) decision
    to cosponsor House Resolution 227, the Armenian Genocide Truth and
    Justice Resolution. The bill is a measure to end U.S. complicity in
    Turkey's genocide denial campaign and put America back on the side
    of a truthful and just international resolution of Turkey's still
    unpunished crime against the Armenian nation, reports Armenpress
    referring to the Armenian National Committee of America (ANCA).

    ANC of Massachusetts activists Greg Kanarian and John Daghlian joined
    ANCA Eastern Region Board Member Steve Mesrobian at a November 26,
    2013 meeting with Rep. Kennedy. During this meeting they covered a
    wide variety of topics. Among the subjects covered in these talks
    were the Congressman's long family support for the Armenian cause,
    H.Res.227, the Armenian Orphan Rug issue, the future of Armenian
    Churches in Turkey, Nagorno Karabakh, and U.S.-Armenia relations -
    with special attention to increased bilateral trade and investment. "We
    are pleased to see Rep.

    Kennedy supporting House Resolution 227, in the spirit of his family's
    noble tradition of supporting the Armenian Cause and consistent with
    the Massachusetts' Congressional delegations longstanding backing
    for the national and democratic aspirations of the Armenian nation,"
    said ANCA national and regional leader Steve Mesrobian, a local
    constituent of the Congressman. "We look forward to continuing to
    work closely with Representative Kennedy and to supporting his work
    on issues of concern to our community."

    Senior Congressional leaders serving on key foreign policy and
    appropriations panels have lent their support to a groundbreaking
    human rights measure that seeks improved Armenian-Turkish ties based
    upon Turkey's acknowledgement of the Armenian Genocide and a just
    international resolution of this still unpunished crime.
