    /PanARMENIAN.Net/ Senator Barbara Boxer, a senior member of the
    Senate Foreign Relations Committee and Chair of its Subcommittee on
    International Operations and Organizations, Human Rights, Democracy,
    and Global Women's Issues, joined her colleagues yesterday in
    cosponsoring S. Res. 316, the Armenian Genocide resolution, reported
    the Armenian Assembly of America (Assembly).

    "We welcome Senator Boxer's continued commitment in combating genocide
    denial through U.S. reaffirmation of the Armenian Genocide," stated
    Armenian Assembly Executive Director Bryan Ardouny. "In the face of
    continued denial of this great crime against humanity, it is incumbent
    upon us and all people of goodwill to do everything in our power to
    put an end to this vicious cycle," added Ardouny.

    Introduced by Senator Robert Menendez in October of this year, S. Res.

    316 reaffirms the incontestable fact of the Armenian Genocide and has
    also garnered the support of Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid. In
    addition, while not an official cosponsor, former Presidential
    hopeful, Senator John McCain in a recent interview publicly affirmed
    the Armenian Genocide.

    S.Res. 316 has been referred to the Senate Foreign Relations Committee
    and is pending further action. S.Res. 316 mirrors its counterpart in
    the House of Representatives, H.Res. 252, which was introduced by
    Congressmen Adam Schiff and George Radanovich, along with Armenian
    Caucus Co-Chairs Frank Pallone, Jr. and Mark Kirk.
