SOAD FANS URGE DEBATE OF GENOCIDE RESOLUTION IN US HOUSE
Thousands of fans of System of a Down rock band have sent letters to US House Speaker Dennis Hastert (R-IL), urging him to introduce legislation on recognition of the Armenian Genocide before the House, reported the Armenian National Committee of America. Letters sent to Hastert via ANCA WebFax free system urge him to keep his promise of 2000 to submit the Armenian Genocide Resolution for vote. "The Armenian Genocide is a purely moral issue. Today the fate of human rights is in your hands. Make the right move, keep your promise. Serve to US interests and values by letting the legislation be introduced before the House as soon as possible," the numerous messages say.
