statement shared today with the Armenian National Committee of America
(ANCA), [Ho. Hee. Dashnaktsutyan Washington-ee Hai Tahd-ee Krasenyag]
called for Congressional passage of the Armenian Genocide Resolution
and pledged that, as President, she will recognize the Armenian
Genocide.

"Our common morality and our nation’s credibility as a voice for
human rights challenge us to ensure that the Armenian Genocide
be recognized and remembered by the Congress and the President of
the United States." – Sen. Hillary Clinton (D-NY) said. "Armenian
Americans from across the United States welcome Hillary Clinton’s
strong support for the adoption of the Armenian Genocide Resolution,
and her pledge to recognize the Armenian Genocide as President of the
United States," said ANCA Executive Director Aram Hamparian. "Hillary
Clinton’s statement, which reflects her consistent track record of
support in public office, speaks powerfully to our community’s deeply
held concerns regarding the recognition of the Armenian Genocide, the
expansion of the U.S.-Armenia relationship, and a fair and democratic
resolution of the Nagorno Karabagh conflict."
