    CONGRESSMEN SCHIFF AND RADANOVICH WELCOME GENOCIDE RESOLUTION

    Armenian National Committee of America (ANCA) welcomes the position
    of U.S. Congressmen Adam Schiff and George Radanovich in support of
    recently introduced resolution to Senate on Armenian Genocide by Bob
    Menendez and John Ensign, ANCA website reads.

    "In a joint statement issued earlier today, Reps. Schiff and Radanovich
    noted: "We commend our colleagues in the Senate for their prudence in
    introducing this vital resolution. The facts are clear and there is
    no question that the acts of the Ottoman Empire almost a century ago
    resulted in the systematic elimination of 1.5 million Armenians. The
    United States has a moral obligation to recognize the heinous acts
    of genocide and all human rights abuses that have occurred--without
    that recognition we are doomed to repeat the atrocities of the past."

    Both resolutions call on U.S. President to ensure that U.S. foreign
    policy reflects appropriate understanding and related to "human rights,
    ethnic cleansing, and genocide documented in the United States record
    relating to the Armenian Genocide."

    "We join with Congressman Schiff and Radanovich in welcoming the
    introduction of the Armenian Genocide Resolution in the U.S. Senate by
    Robert Menendez and John Ensign, and look forward, in the coming days,
    to working with leaders and legislators in both houses of Congress
    toward the timely adoption of this human rights measure," said Aram
    Hamparian, Executive Director of the ANCA.
