The Armenian National Committee of America – Western Region and
the East San Fernando Valley ANC Chapter jointly issued a statement
this week praising Congressman Howard Berman (D-CA-28) for sending
a Dear Colleague letter on the Armenian Genocide to all members of
the U.S. House of Representatives.
The letter to House members included a reference to a recent statement
issued by the respected International Association of Genocide Scholars
that encouraged House member to cosponsor H.Res.106, the Armenian
Genocide Resolution.
In his Dear Colleague letter, Congressman Berman writes, "…it is
now time for Turkey to accept the reality of the Armenian Genocide."
"Our community commends Congressman Berman for his leadership role
in educating Members of Congress on the Armenian Genocide," commented
ANCA-WR Executive Director Andrew Kzirian. "The fact that Congressman
Berman joined with the International Association of Genocide Scholars
in support of H.Res.106 is fresh proof of his longstanding commitment
to this human rights issue so important to tens of thousands of his
constituents in the 28th Congressional District," Kzirian added.
