Adam Schiff, Armenia, Independence
Rep. Adam Schiff has issued a statement on the occasion of the 22nd
anniversary of Independence of the Republic of Armenia. The message
reads:
`I'm so glad to join with the vibrant Armenian community that I
represent and proudly say `Urakh Ankakhutyan Or' (Happy Independence
Day) as we celebrate the 22nd anniversary of the Independence of the
Republic of Armenia.
The road to independence has not been easy, but time has proven that
Armenians are survivors in the truest sense of the word, survivors of
foreign domination, survivors of the first genocide of the 20th
century.
Armenian Americans continue to illustrate what a valuable asset they
are to our society, breaking new grounds economically, socially and
politically across the nation, and enriching our customs, traditions
and the quality of life.
Over the years I've been privileged to work hand in hand with many
individuals in the Armenian community in a wide variety of issues that
concern the community such as securing aid to Armenia and Artsakh,
supporting self-determination for the people of Artsakh, ending the US
Government's tragic failure to recognize the Armenian Genocide.
As a friend of the Armenian community, I'm honored to join you in
commemorating this important day and anniversary. Congratulations to
the people of Armenia, Armenians in America and to all Armenians
around the world.
