WASHINGTON, JUNE 19, NOYAN TAPAN – ARMENIANS TODAY. Congresswoman of
California Laura Richardson has promised to cosponsor Armenian Genocide
Resolution 252 which was submitted to the House of Representatives.

Conveying her decision to the Armenian National Committee of America
she noted that the Genocide which was committed towards Armenians in
1915-1923 by Turks was an unprecedented event and the only convenient
definition to describe those massacres is the word "genocide" and no
one should be afraid of giving a real definition to those events.

Richardson added that the International Association of Genocide
Scholars and almost all merited historians agree that the Armenians
were the victims of the first genocide of the 20th century but Turkey
continues this reality of denial. The Asbarez daily reported this.
