16:00 / 08/26/2009"The Edward M. Kennedy who represented Massachusetts
in U.S. Senate was a good friend of U.S. Armenian community," Arpi
Vartanian, Country Director for Armenia and Nagorno- Karabakh of
Armenian Assembly of America (AAA) told NEWS.am.

According to Vartanian, the Kennedy family and Edward in particular
assisted U.S. Armenians in different ways. "As an influential Senator
in U.S. Congress, Edward M. Kennedy helped Armenians to solve problems
in various areas," she emphasized.

He always supported bills on recognition of Armenian Genocide and
other pro-Armenian initiatives. It is difficult to tell his sister
Eunice Kennedy Shriver’s (deceased in August 11, 2009) position on
Armenian Cause, as she was neutral of politics.
