Kirsten Gillibrand became the 220th cosponsor of H. Res. 106, the Armenian Genocide Resolution. Gillibrand represents the 20th District of New York State, the Armenian National Committee of America reports. "I am pleased to add my name to the list of cosponsors of the Armenian Genocide bill, H. Res. 106. By acknowledging the truth and horror of the Armenian Genocide perpetrated by the Ottoman Empire, the US will demonstrate its continued commitment, to addressing and taking action to prevent the horror of genocide in other parts of the world such as Sudan," Kirsten Gillibrand underlined.
H. Res. 106, which was introduced on January 30, 2007 by Adam Schiff, reaffirms the Armenian Genocide perpetrated by the Ottoman Empire in 1915 and calls upon the U.S. President to accurately characterize the systematic and deliberate annihilation of 1 500 000 Armenians as 'genocide' in the President's April 24 annual message.
