/PanARMENIAN.Net/ In letters circulated today to Members of the
House of Representatives, the Armenian National Committee of America
(ANCA) highlighted the growing support for the Armenian Genocide
Resolution among members serving on Congressional committees dealing
with America’s defense capabilities, intelligence community, foreign
policy, and homeland security.

"We are deeply gratified by the strong, bipartisan support for the
Armenian Genocide Resolution among Members of Congress responsible
for our nation’s defense and foreign policies," said Aram Hamparian,
Executive Director of the ANCA. "Beyond the clear moral issues at
stake in America’s principled stand against all genocides, these
Members realize that Turkey, by coming to terms with this crime,
will lower regional tensions, open the door to improved relations
with Armenia, and ultimately contribute to its own acceptance by the
European family of nations."
