August 31, from 10 am to 5 pm, the book of condolences due to death
of Senator Edward M. Kennedy will be available to public to sign on
at the U.S. Embassy in Armenia.

Senator Edward M. Kennedy, brother of President John F. Kennedy and
Senator Robert F. Kennedy, died on August 25, 2009 at the age of 77.

Arpi Vartanian, Country Director for Armenia and Nagorno- Karabakh
of Armenian Assembly of America (AAA) told NEWS.am that Kennedy was
a good friend of U.S. Armenian community. He always supported bills
on recognition of Armenian Genocide and other pro-Armenian initiatives.

Senator Kennedy was a major figure of the U.S. Senate for 46
years. President Obama noted on his passing that, "For five decades,
virtually every major piece of legislation to advance the civil rights,
health and economic well being of the American people bore his name
and resulted from his efforts."
