Armenian and Jewish community leaders launched an online petition
urging people to sign a letter to President Obama and the Congress
that calls for the immediate passage of H. Res. 252, the Armenian
Genocide Resolution pending in Congress, announced the Armenian
National Committee of Massachusetts. "This initiative is important
because it demonstrates how on a grassroots level, in both the
Jewish and Armenian communities, there is a demand for justice for
the Armenian Genocide. It is vital that the powerful in Washington,
whether they are in the State Department or in lobbying organizations,
realize that they will be called to task when they sacrifice principle
and historical truth for political expediency," said Laura Boghosian,
ANC of Massachusetts member and co-chair of the petition drive. Sign
