/PanARMENIAN.Net/ U.S. House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-CA),
a longtime supporter of Armenian American issues who is expected to
become Speaker if the Democrats win a majority in the House this
November, pledged today to support Armenian Genocide legislation
next year during in the 110th session of Congress. In a statement
released to Harut Sassounian, Publisher of the California Courier,
Congresswoman Pelosi stated that: "I have supported legislation,
including H.Res.316, that would properly acknowledge the Armenian
Genocide. It is imperative that the United States recognize this
atrocity and move to renew our commitment to eliminate genocide
whenever and wherever it exists. This effort enjoys strong bipartisan
support in the House, and I will continue to support these efforts
in the 110th Congress."

Congresswoman Pelosi’s statement is consistent with her past record
of energetic and principled support for U.S. recognition of the
Armenian Genocide, dating back nearly 20 years, Harut Sassounian told
a PanARMENIAN.Net reporter.
