MosJan Posted January 31, 2002 Report Share Posted January 31, 2002 CAPITOL HILL TO COMMEMORATE GENOCIDEMembers of Congress will join the Armenian American community in the 8th Annual ANCA Capitol Hill Observance of the Armenian Genocide. The Observance, co-hosted by Senator Jack Reed (D-RI) and US Representative Jim McGovern (D-MA), and sponsored by the Armenian National Committee of America Eastern Region, Western Region, and Washington DC, will take place on Wednesday, April 17, in the Gold Room of the Rayburn House Office Building(Rm.2168). The program will begin at 6:00 pm. The ANCA's Annual Capitol Hill Observance provides Members of Congress the opportunity to commemorate the Armenian Genocide with members of the Armenian American community. Senator Reed and Representative McGovern, this year's key co-hosts, have been consistent supporters of issues of special concern to Armenian Americans, especially initiatives that recognize and commemorate the Armenian Genocide. Last year's Observance was enhanced when Senator Robert Dole was presented with the ANCA Freedom Award for Lifetime Achievement. Senator Dole, a steadfast supporter of initiatives to properly recognize and commemorate the Armenian Genocide, consistently introduced legislation to ensure that the United States properly recognize and commemorate the Armenian Genocide. The Armenian American community is cordially invited to join Members of Congress in marking the 87th anniversary of the Armenian Genocide. © Copyright AZG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
