    Pro-Armenian congressman to chair House subcommittee

    04-12-2009 08:58:20

    Robert Wexler, chairman of the House of Representatives subcommittee
    for Europe and the Turkey friendship group, and a member of the
    congressional taskforce on Azerbaijan, will be succeeded in his
    capacity by a pro-Armenian congressman.
    According to Wexler's office, his successor is Bill Delahunt, who is
    known for maintaining friendly ties with the Armenian diaspora.
    The outgoing lawmaker is stepping down as congressman to head the
    Center for Middle East Peace.
    Delahunt is known as a supporter of Armenian initiatives and is one of
    the backers of the congressional bill supporting claims on the alleged
    World War I-era genocide of Armenians in Ottoman Turkey.*
