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.
