    ANCA-WR Praises Congressman Howard Berman


    -- San Fernando Valley Congressman Educates 434 Members of Congress on
    Armenian Genocide

    Los Angeles, CA - The Armenian National Committee of America - Western
    Region and the East San Fernando Valley ANC Chapter jointly issued a
    statement this week praising Congressman Howard Berman (D-CA-28) for
    sending a Dear Colleague letter on the Armenian Genocide to all members
    of the U.S. House of Representatives. Congressman Berman received an
    "A" in the ANCA Congressional Report Card for 2006.

    The letter to House members included a reference to a recent statement
    issued by the respected International Association of Genocide Scholars
    that encouraged House member to cosponsor H.Res.106, the Armenian
    Genocide Resolution. In his Dear Colleague letter, Congressman Berman
    writes, ".it is now time for Turkey to accept the reality of the
    Armenian Genocide."

    "Our community commends Congressman Berman for his leadership role in
    educating Members of Congress on the Armenian Genocide," commented
    ANCA-WR Executive Director Andrew Kzirian. "The fact that Congressman
    Berman joined with the International Association of Genocide Scholars in
    support of H.Res.106 is fresh proof of his longstanding commitment to
    this human rights issue so important to tens of thousands of his
    constituents in the 28th Congressional District," Kzirian added.

    The Armenian National Committee of America is the largest and most
    influential Armenian American grassroots political organization. Working
    in coordination with a network of offices, chapters, and supporters
    throughout the United States and affiliated organizations around the
    world, the ANCA actively advances the concerns of the Armenian American
    community on a broad range of issues.
