    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."
