WASHINGTON, APRIL 23, NOYAN TAPAN – ARMENIANS TODAY. The congressmen
elected from the state of Colorado unanimously spoke on April 18 for
adoption of the U.S. House of Representatives and Senate resolutions
concerning the Armenian Genocide.

As the Armenian Assembly of America (AAA) states, Congressman Mark
Udall (democrate) from Colorado was the first congressman who spoke
for that resolution.

AAA Colorado Armenian American Action Committee (ARAMAC) State Chair
Pamela Barsam Brown closely cooperated with the state legislators’
office.

"Colorado senators and representatives showed great assistance in
the issue of re-affirming the U.S. position in the Armenian Genocide
issue," Barsam Brown said, expressing a hope that senators of other
states will follow their example.

In addition to the Congress assistance, the Armenian Genocide was
recognized in Colorado at the state and city councils’ level. Governor
Bill Ritter and Mayor John Hickenlooper made a statement concerning
the Armenian Genocide.

The Colorado legislative body also proposed a joint resolution by which
April 24 is from now on announced in Colorado as the day of memory of
the Armenian Genocide. "We appreciate the active assistance of the
Colorado delegation in the issue of affirmation of the indisputable
fact of the Armenian Genocide," Bryan Ardouny, the Executive Director
of the Armenian Assembly of America said. "We welcome devotion and
activeness of Pamela Barsam Brown and the Armenian community of
Colorado in the affair of this success."
