/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Congressman Joseph Pitts became the 199th cosponsor
to H. Res. 106, which recognizes the Armenian Genocide of 1915
perpetrated by the Ottoman Turkey, the Armenian National Committee
of America reports. The Congressman's support was acquired through
the efforts of the ANCA constituents in Pennsylvania.
"We thank Congressman Pitts for his support and hope that his
commitment will inspire his colleagues in Washington on both sides of
the aisle to pass this important legislation. It is critical that our
government recognizes and condemns the Armenian Genocide to demonstrate
our compassion as a nation and our value for life and human rights,"
Chairman of ANCA branch in Pennsylvania Ara Chalian stated.
H. Res. 106 calls upon the President to ensure that the foreign policy
of the United States reflects appropriate understanding and sensitivity
concerning issues related to human rights, ethnic cleansing, and
genocide documented in the United States record relating to the
Armenian Genocide, and for other purposes.
