Armenian Genocide new resolution to be introduced to U.S. Congress

PanARMENIAN.Net - Pro-Armenian lawmakers in the U.S. House of Representatives, the lower chamber of Congress, are preparing to introduce later this month a fresh resolution calling on the United States to formally recognize the 1915 incidents in the Ottoman Empire as Genocide, the Armenian National Committee of America (ANCA) told PanARMENIAN.Net



The bill will be introduced by four senior members of the Armenian Caucus in the House of Representatives, Adam Schiff, a democrat from California, Frank Pallone, a democrat from New Jersey, George Radanovich, a republican from California, and Mark Kirk, a republican from Illinois, the sources said.



The pro-Armenian lobby is presently working to garner the support of a large number of lawmakers as cosponsors for the resolution.
