/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Delaware General Assembly adopted a resolution
proclaiming April 24 as a day of remembrance of the Armenian
Genocide. The Armenian National Committee of America (ANCA) reports
the resolution was introduced by State Representative John Kowalko,
and faced no opposition when it was brought for a vote by the General
Assembly on April 5, 2007.
Similar legislation was passed in the Delaware Senate in 1995, making
Delaware one of 38 States that recognize the Armenian Genocide. A copy
of the Delaware resolution has been sent to Delaware Congressman Mike
Castle, as well as Senator Joe Biden and Thomas Carper.
"I was particularly honored to present this resolution since it will
officially record and acknowledge a moment in the history of mankind
when man's inhumanity to man and humankind's disregard for a civilized
morality was made horribly apparent. The attempt to systematically
eliminate all traces of a noble civilization such as the Armenian
culture is another shameful moment in the history of the world,"
Kowalko, enthusiastic about the resolution, stated.
