Senator Joe Lieberman and Representative Linda Sanchez support Armenian Genocide Resolution

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.
