Today, Congressman Eliot Engel raised the issue of the Armenian Genocide during the first oversight hearing held by the House Foreign Affairs Subcommittee on Europe and Eurasia, the Armenian Assembly of America informs Armenian News-NEWS.am.
Speaking at the hearing entitled “Overview of U.S. Policy toward Europe and Eurasia” Congressman Engel cited the “hostile” nature of Turkey’s relationship with Israel and highlighted numerous double standards by Turkey, including its demand for an apology from Israel, when we “can’t get Turkey to apologize for the Armenian Genocide.”
“We commend Congressman Engel for his steadfast support for U.S. affirmation of the Armenian Genocide. Congressman Engel continues to speak out for truth and justice, and we look forward to working with him and his colleagues to ensure that the Armenian Genocide is never forgotten,” said Assembly Board Member Annie Totah.
