    REP. SCHIFF HOPES ARMENIAN GENOCIDE BILL WILL PASS CONGRESS

    /PanARMENIAN.Net/ Los Angeles Congressman Adam Schiff, D-Pasadena,
    said he and several others in Congress are reviving the Armenian
    Genocide resolution.

    He said he has high hopes that the bill will pass Congress despite
    fierce opposition from Turkey, and finally will be signed into law
    by the nation's new president.

    Speaking to 75 people from the Armenian National Committee Central
    California Chapter in downtown Fresno, Schiff pledged to reintroduce
    his Genocide resolution soon.

    Schiff said virtually every member in Congress knows that the
    Armenian Genocide is a fact of history, and that President Barack
    Obama understands the issue.

    "Obama spoke out against the firing of the ambassador," Schiff said,
    referring to the dismissal of the American ambassador to Armenia for
    publicly using the term Armenian genocide, The Fresno Bee reports.
