CONGRESSMEN RADANOVICH AND SCHIFF, JOINED BY ARMENIA CAUCUS CO-CHAIRS
KNOLLENBERG AND PALLONE, INTRODUCE ARMENIAN GENOCIDE RESOLUTION
YEREVAN, JUNE 15. ARMINFO. Congressmen George Radanovich (R-CA), Adam
Schiff (D- CA), Joe Knollenberg (R-MI) and Frank Pallone, Jr. (D-NJ)
today introduced an Armenian Genocide resolution that would reaffirm
the U.S. record on this crime against humanity. Fifty additional
Members of Congress have signed on as original co-sponsors to this
bipartisan effort to have the United States reaffirm the Armenian
Genocide.
Accordoing to the Armenian Assembly of America, the legislation
calls upon the President to "ensure that the foreign policy of the
United States reflects appropriate understanding" of the "Armenian
Genocide" and to "accurately characterize the systematic and deliberate
annihilation of 1,500,000 Armenians as genocide" in the President's
annual message.
"I am proud to once again introduce legislation, that will recall
for the benefit of future generations, the first genocide of the
20th century and the extraordinary American response to the attempted
destruction of the Armenian people," said Radanovich, the bill's lead
sponsor. "In this action by the Ottoman Empire and the ultimately
ineffective reaction of third parties lie the lessons that could have
prevented the genocides that have followed against Jews, Cambodians,
Rwandans and so many other peoples."
