RE: Assembly Thanks Senator Kennedy for Supporting Genocide Resolution
Washington, DC – Armenian Assembly Board of Trustees Member Annie
Totah and Executive Director Bryan Ardouny thanked Senator Edward
Kennedy (D-MA) for his support of Armenian issues including the
Genocide resolution (S. Res. 106). Kennedy is a longtime supporter
of Armenian issues and has cosponsored previous legislation to
reaffirm the Armenian Genocide. S. Res. 106, which was introduced by
Senators Richard Durbin (D-IL) and John Ensign (R-NV), calls upon the
President to ensure that the foreign policy of the United States
reflects appropriate understanding and sensitivity concerning issues
related to human rights, ethnic cleansing, and genocide documented in
the United States record relating to the Armenian Genocide. The
legislation has 25 cosponsors to date.
The Armenian Assembly of America is the largest Washington-based
nationwide organization promoting public understanding and awareness
of Armenian issues. It is a 501 (c) (3) tax-exempt membership
organization.
