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.
