/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Los Angeles Congressman Adam Schiff, D-Pasadena,
said he and several others in Congress are reviving the Armenian
Genocide resolution.

He said he has high hopes that the bill will pass Congress despite
fierce opposition from Turkey, and finally will be signed into law
by the nation’s new president.

Speaking to 75 people from the Armenian National Committee Central
California Chapter in downtown Fresno, Schiff pledged to reintroduce
his Genocide resolution soon.

Schiff said virtually every member in Congress knows that the
Armenian Genocide is a fact of history, and that President Barack
Obama understands the issue.

"Obama spoke out against the firing of the ambassador," Schiff said,
referring to the dismissal of the American ambassador to Armenia for
publicly using the term Armenian genocide, The Fresno Bee reports.

Emil Lazarian: “I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
