Armenian Genocide, Robert Menendez, Samantha Power
Senator Robert Menendez, Chairman of the Foreign Relations Committee,
opened his hearing on the confirmation of Samantha Power to serve as
U.N. Ambassador by telling her that he is "incredibly appreciative
of the principled position you've taken on the Armenian Genocide,"
reported the Armenian National Committee of America (ANCA).
At the start of the highly anticipated and widely broadcast hearing,
Chairman Menendez noted that, "You have been an unrelenting, principled
voice when it comes to human rights and crimes against humanity -
and I know that voice will be heard around the world - should you
be confirmed," adding: "Personally, I am incredibly appreciative of
the principled position you've taken on the Armenian Genocide. In
2007, you wrote in Time Magazine - 'a stable, fruitful, 21st century
relationship' [with Turkey] cannot be built on a lie,' and I completely
The New Jersey Democrat also stressed that, "Your belief that we should
use the lessons of what clearly was an atrocity of historic proportions
to prevent future crimes against humanity is a view consistent with my
own and which is supported by your role on the President's Atrocities
Prevention Board. I agree that we must acknowledge and study the past,
understand how and why atrocities happen, to put-into-practice and
giving meaning to the phrase, "never again."
