LANCASTER, JUNE 12, NOYAN TAPAN – ARMENIANS TODAY. The Congressman
Joseph Pitts declared about supporting Resolution 106 on the Armenian
Genocide.
Thus, 8 Congressmen out of 19 from Pennsylvania signed under the bill.
The Resolution that has 199 supporters now was submitted to the
U.S. House of Representatives for consideration on January 30, 2007
by the Republican Adam Schiff, George Radanovich and the Co-chairmen
of the Congress Committee on the Armenian Issues Frank Pallone and
Joe Nollenberg.
Ara Chalian, leader of Armenian National Committee in Pennsylvania,
expressed his gratitude to Congressman Pitts for supporting the
Resolution and his hope that his step will encourage his partners in
Washington both in the House of Representatives and in the Senate so
as they ratify this bill of great significance. "It is very important
that our government recognizes, condemns and prevents the Genocide,
thus proving that we are sorry for the committed crime and appreciate
the values of life and human rights," declared A. Chalian.
