Armenian Youth Federation – Western United States Welcomed US House

GLENDALE, MARCH 10, NOYAN TAPAN – ARMENIANS TODAY. The Armenian Youth
Federation – Western United States – welcomed the March 4, 2010, vote
by the Foreign Affairs Committee of the US House of Representatives
to adopt the Armenian Genocide Resolution (H.Res.252). The AYF
leadership and its membership are grateful to Committee Chairman
Howard Berman for standing up to the Obama Administration, Turkish
lobbyists, and the Turkish Government. Chairman Berman and the House
Foreign Affairs Committee remained firm in recognizing the Armenian
Genocide. Even though Turkey spends millions of dollars annually to
spread misinformation about the Armenian Genocide, the decision by
the US House Foreign Affairs Committee sends a signal to Turkey that
it does not have a vote or veto in our Congress. The Armenian-American
community has been and continues to encourage the passage of a similar
bill in the Senate of the United States and proper acknowledgment of
the Armenian Genocide by US President Barack Obama, whose campaign
promise to Armenians was to stand by the truth.

Emil Lazarian: “I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
