SYSTEM OF A DOWN POSTS TV NEWS COVERAGE VIDEO OF
RALLY FOR PASSAGE OF ARMENIAN GENOCIDE RESOLUTION
— Watch News Segments Broadcast by the ABC, FOX, and WB
Affiliates in House Speaker Dennis Hastert’s District
WASHINGTON, DC – The multi-platinum band System of a Down this week
distributed an internet link to the television news coverage of
their September 27th Armenian Genocide recognition rally outside
the Batavia, Illinois office of Speaker of the House Dennis Hastert
(R-IL), reported the Armenian National Committee of America (ANCA).
The rally was organized by System of a Down in cooperation with the
ANCA, the Armenian Youth Federation, and Axis of Justice. Over two
hundred people, including a large contingent of Armenians from the
Chicago area, called on the Speaker to honor the pledge he made
five years ago to schedule a vote on Armenian Genocide legislation.
On September 15th, the House International Relations Committee
overwhelmingly approved two resolutions recognizing the Armenian
Genocide. In the wake of the Committee’s action, the decision to
bring this legislation to a vote on the House floor or,
alternatively, to block its progress, rests in the hands of the
House Speaker.
