/PanARMENIAN.Net/ US Congressman Adam Schiff, the
author of Armenian Genocide legislation which passed
the House International Relations Committee, commended
Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) for her support
of Genocide recognition legislation. Leader Pelosi
recently committed to support Armenian Genocide
legislation in the 110th session of Congress if she
becomes Speaker of the House, Schiff’s Press Secretary
Sean Oblack told PanARMENIAN.Net. "There is no hiding
the fact that one and a half million Armenians were
deliberately murdered at the beginning of the 20th
Century, and it is high time that we as a nation
recognize these heinous crimes for what they were – a
genocide," Schiff said. "I stand with Leader Pelosi in
her commitment to get this important legislation
passed. We need to acknowledge these horrible
atrocities of the past, in order to progress towards a
brighter future."
