The Senate Foreign Relations Committee is set to consider legislation,
authored by the panel's chairman Joe Biden (D-DE), condemning the
murder of Hrant Dink, reported the Armenian National Committee of
America (ANCA).
The resolution, S.Res.65, specifically mentions that Hrant Dink "was
prosecuted under Article 301 of the Turkish Penal Code for speaking
about the Armenian Genocide," and urges the Turkish government to
repeal this anti-free speech law. It will be "marked up" by the
Committee on Tuesday, March 6th at 2:15 pm.
ANCA activists in the 21 states with Senators on the Committee
are encouraging support for S.Res.65 through phone calls, faxes,
and meetings.
They are also reminding the Senate offices that Hrant Dink's brutal
murder is a wake up call for the US Senate to pass legislation formally
recognizing and commemorating the Armenian Genocide.
