President-elect Barack Obama’s choice of Senator Hillary Clinton
(D-NY) to serve as his Secretary of State was welcomed by the Armenian
National Committee of America (ANCA), Elizabeth Chouljian, ANCA
Communications Director, told PanARMENIAN.Net. "We extend our thanks
to President-elect Obama for this choice and our congratulations to
Senator Clinton on her appointment to our nation’s top diplomatic
post," said Aram Hamparian, Executive Director of the ANCA. "We are
certainly pleased to see that, for the first time in recent memory,
an individual with a strong record in support of Armenian Genocide
recognition will serve as America’s Secretary of State." During
her tenure in the U.S. Senate, Hillary Clinton has both called upon
President Bush to honor his campaign pledge to recognize the Armenian
Genocide, and also cosponsored every Armenian Genocide Resolution
since coming into office in 2001. "I believe the horrible events
perpetrated by the Ottoman Empire against Armenians constitute a
clear case of genocide," Mrs. Clinton said on January 24, 2008.
