/PanARMENIAN.Net/ The Armenian Assembly of America commended
Congressional Caucus on Armenian Issues Co-Chairs Joe Knollenberg and
Frank Pallone today for launching a letter-writing campaign to ask
President Bush to appropriately acknowledge the Armenian Genocide in
his remembrance remarks next month, the Armenian Assembly of America
reports. ~SWe are writing to urge you to join us in reaffirming the
United States record on the Armenian Genocide in your upcoming April
24th commemorative statement. By properly recognizing the terrible
atrocities committed against the Armenian people as “genocide” in
your statement, you will honor the many Americans who helped launch
the unprecedented U.S. diplomatic, political and humanitarian
campaign to end the carnage and protect the survivors. The United
States must never allow crimes against humanity to pass without
remembrance and condemnation. By commemorating the Armenian Genocide,
we renew our commitment to prevent future atrocities, and therefore
negate the dictum that history is condemned to repeat itself~T, the
message says.
