STATEMENT FROM SENATOR EDWARD J. MARKEY ON COMMITTEE PASSAGE OF ARMENIAN GENOCIDE RESOLUTION
Attributable to Senator Edward J. Markey (D-Mass.), chair of the
Subcommittee on International Development and Foreign Assistance,
Economic Affairs, International Environmental Protection, and Peace
Corps of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee.
"It is long overdue for the United States to join the many other
nations who have formally recognized the Armenian Genocide. That is
why today's passage by the Senate Foreign Relations Committee of the
genocide resolution in advance of the ninety-ninth anniversary is so
historic. I was proud to vote for this important resolution today in
Committee, and I will keep fighting to ensure its passage by the full
Senate. I will continue to work with the Armenian-American community
to build a prosperous and bright future for the Armenian people."
