/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Senator Joe Lieberman and Representative Linda
Sanchez became, this week, the most recent additions to the growing
bipartisan group of legislators supporting the Armenian Genocide
Resolution (S.Res.316 and H.Res.252), reported the Armenian National
Committee of America.
"We want to thank Senator Lieberman and Representative Sanchez for,
once again standing up for principle, and against Turkey’s denials,"
said Aram Hamparian, Executive Director of the ANCA. "We look forward,
in the weeks ahead, to working with these friends and our many others
in both houses of Congress, to see this genocide-prevention legislation
adopted at the very first opportunity."
H.Res.252, introduced on March 17th of this year by lead sponsors
Adam Schiff and George Radanovich, and Congressional Armenian
Caucus Co-chairs Frank Pallone and Mark Kirk, currently has over
135 cosponsors.
With the support of Senators Boxer and Lieberman, S.Res.316,
spearheaded by Senators Bob Menendez and John Ensign, will have 10
cosponsors. Both bills are identical to legislation in the 110th
Congress that was adopted by the House Foreign Affairs Committee, and
publicly endorsed by then-candidate for President Barack Obama, current
Vice President Joe Biden and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.
