Sponsors of the so-called Armenian genocide bill sent a letter to
House of Representatives speaker Nancy Pelosi and asked not to put
the bill to vote. APA’s US bureau reports that Adam B. Schiff, Brad
Sherman and Anna G. Eshoo.
Ms. Eshoo congressmen from California and New Jersey,
compactly-populated by Armenians said in their letter that it is not
right to put the bill to vote. But the congressmen stated that they
do not refuse the idea of voting and will put it on the agenda late
this year or in 2008.
Nancy Pelosi’s office reported that speaker respects the position of
her colleagues.
21 congressmen withdrew their signatures from the bill after the
bill on the so-called Armenian genocide was supported in House of
Representatives Foreign Affairs committee on October 10. As a result
of it, the number of the congressmen supporting the bill fell from
226 to 205.
Hundreds of experts and civilians through American mass media and TV
channels accused leaders of Democratic Party and speaker Nancy Pelosi
of selling national interests of America.
