"We highly appreciate the decision by the Committee on Foreign Affairs
of the United States House of Representatives to adopt Resolution 252
on the recognition of the Armenian genocide," Armenian Foreign
Minister Edward Nalbandian said.
"This is another proof of the devotion of the American people to
universal human values and is an important step toward the prevention
of the crimes against humanity," said the Armenian FM.
US House Committee on Foreign Affairs adopted Armenian Genocide
resolution (H.Res.252) with a vote of 23 to 22. After it was put to
the vote in Profile Committee, the Resolution will be submitted to the
House of Representatives for final vote.
