12/16/11 - Statement for the Congressional Record on H. Res. 306 - Mr. Speaker, I rise today in support of House Resolution 306 that the House passed earlier this week.

Wherever we see repression, wherever we see atrocities being swept under the rug, we have a moral duty to speak out. Members of NATO are no exception.

Today in Turkey, beautiful and historic Armenian churches, monuments and monasteries lie in ruins?broken not by the sands of time, but by desecration, theft and dynamite.
For too long, the U.S. has allowed Turkey to elude responsibility for the destruction of Armenian churches. With this resolution, Congress sends a stern message to Turkey?s Prime Minister, Recep Erdogan?the United States will not tolerate Turkish assaults on Armenian heritage and religious freedom.

The passage of House Resolution 306 earlier this week was an important step towards justice for the Armenian people, but our work is unfinished. Until the U.S. and Turkey officially recognize the Armenian Genocide for what it was, I will continue to fight to correct the staggering injustice of soft-peddling the murder of 1.5 million men, women and children.

11/30/11 - Ardy Kassakhian and folks from the Southern California Armenian Democrats met with Rep. Janice Hahn. He reported that the Member has agreed to join the Congressional Caucus on Armenian Issues.
