CONGRESSIONAL ARMENIAN CAUCUS ANNOUNCES CO-CHAIRS FOR 114TH CONGRESS
WASHINGTON
The following information was released by the office of New Jersey
Rep. Frank Pallone Jr.:
The Congressional Armenian Issues Caucus announced that Congressmen
Frank Pallone, Jr. (D-NJ) and Congressman Robert Dold (R-IL) will
serve as co-chairs of the Caucus for the 114th Congress.
"I am pleased to welcome Congressman Dold as Co-Chair of the Armenian
Caucus for the 114th Congress. He has been an outspoken leader on
Congressional Recognition of the Armenian genocide, and has
consistently fought to advance the U.S. relationship with both Armenia
and the Nagorno Karabakh Republic. I look forward to working with him
to achieve our goals and observe one hundred years since the Armenian
Genocide," said Congressman Pallone.
"It is an honor to Co-Chair the Congressional Armenian Caucus with
Congressman Pallone. I am eager to strengthen the U.S.- Armenian
relationship and work with my colleagues in Congress to promote human
rights, shine a spotlight on genocide denial, and highlight the added
importance of passing the Armenian Genocide Resolution on this
centennial anniversary," said Congressman Dold.
The Congressional Armenian Issues Caucus was founded in 1995 to give
Members of Congress a platform to advocate for issues relating to
Armenia, and the opportunity to educate their colleagues on the
subject. This year will mark 100 years since the Armenian genocide,
when one and a half million Armenians were needlessly slaughtered by
Ottoman Turks between 1915 and 1923.
