More than 100 US Congressmen support Armenian Genocide resolution



YEREVAN, OCTOBER 7, ARMENPRESS. The number of US Congressmen backing
the House of Representatives N 220 resolution recognizing the Armenian
Genocide passed 100.

The Armenian National Committee of America associates this fact with
the success of the Armenian Genocide-themed movie The Promise, the
public screening of the Architects of Denial documentary, and meetings
with the Congressmen during summer.

Noteworthy actions were taken in this work by members of the
Congressional Armenian Caucus Jackie Speier and David Trott.

ANCA director Aram Hamparian was pleased to note that the top ranking
Republican and Democrat officials of the House are among the
endorsers.

The ANCA had more than 200 meetings with Congressmen and their
representatives for this purpose.

U.S. Representatives David Trott (R-MI) and Adam Schiff (D-CA) are the
lead authors of H.Res.220.

The Senate, Armenian Genocide Resolution, S.Res.136, was introduced
simultaneously by Senator Robert Menendez (D-NJ) with the bipartisan
support of Senators Ted Cruz (R-TX), Ed Markey (D-MA), and Tom Udall
(D-NM)
