Democratic Presidential hopeful Hillary Clinton called for
Congressional passage of the Armenian Genocide Resolution and pledged
that, as President, she will recognize the Armenian Genocide, reported
the Armenian National Committee of America (ANCA).
"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," said Sen. Hillary Clinton (D-NY).
"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 Karabakh conflict."As
a Senator, Hillary Clinton has, since 2002, cosponsored successive
Armenian Genocide resolutions. She joined Senate colleagues in
cosigning letters to President Bush in 2005 and 2006 urging him to
recognize the Armenian Genocide.
It’s worth to mention that Hillary’s spouse, in spite of his
pre-election promises, didn’t spoke of the fact of the Armenian
Genocide after becoming US President.
