Pallone Commemorates the Anniversary of Independence for the Republic of Armenia
WASHINGTON
Rep. Frank G. Pallone, D-N.J. (6th CD), issued the following news release:
Today, Congressman Frank Pallone, Jr. (NJ-06), Co-Chair and Founder of
the Congressional Caucus on Armenian Issues, made the following
statement on the floor of the U.S. House of Representatives to
commemorate the Anniversary of Independence for the Republic of
Armenia:
"Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the 22nd anniversary of
independence for the Republic of Armenia. On September 21st, 1991
Armenia gained its independence from the Soviet Union and the Caucuses
region saw new opportunities as well as new challenges. I am proud to
say that the Republic of Armenia has taken on those opportunities and
challenges with great success and is now an important democratic ally
of the United States. Eighteen years ago, I helped found the
Congressional Caucus on Armenian Issues and have served as a co-chair
of the caucus since that time. Together, our two countries continue to
work towards developing greater economic ties including trade and
investment and seek to build regional stability. Here in Congress, the
Armenia Caucus is working towards these ends. I ask my colleagues in
Congress to join me, along with the Armenian people and Armenian
Americans across the country in celebrating 22 years of Armenian
independence."
