/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Congressman Peter Roskam, (R-IL) has joined the
Congressional Caucus on Armenian Issues.

The Armenian National Committee of America reports that ANCA members
of Illinois met with Congressman Roskam in the district to discuss
issues of importance to the Armenian community, including current
legislation H. Res 106, in recognition of the Armenian Genocide.

"Armenians have a rich heritage in America," said Congressman
Roskam. "I look forward to working with my constituents of Armenian
descent." the Congressman stressed. While serving as a State Senator,
Roskam, along with 46 Senate members voted to enact HB0312.

This legislation mandates that the study of genocides including the
Armenia Genocide is compulsory for teaching in the schools of Illinois.

Emil Lazarian: “I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
