From ARF Marzbed Committee & Armenian National Committee of Wisconsin:
HR 252 - THE ARMENIAN GENOCIDE RESOLUTION
As has been announced, and is listed below, the US House Foreign Affairs
Committee is scheduled to mark-up HR 252, the Armenian Genocide Resolution,
this Thursday. The number of cosponsors has not increased dramatically, but
rest assured we will need everyone's help in contacting local Congressmen to
get their votes on the House Floor after the resolution is marked-up
Thursday.
H.Res.252 - Affirmation of the United States Record on the Armenian Genocide Resolution
3/17/2009--Introduced. Affirmation of the United States Record on the Armenian Genocide Resolution - Calls upon the President:
(1) to ensure that U.S. foreign policy reflects appropriate understanding and sensitivity concerning issues related to human rights, ethnic cleansing, and genocide documented in the U.S. record relating to the Armenian Genocide and the consequences of the failure to realize a just resolution; and
(2) in the President's annual message commemorating the Armenian Genocide to characterize the systematic and deliberate annihilation of 1.5 million Armenians as genocide, and to recall the proud history of U.S. intervention in opposition to the Armenian Genocide.
