ArmInfo. "Tonight we are all Armenians!" House Speaker Nancy
Pelosi (D-Calif.) declared as she began her address at the annual
congressional commemoration of the Armenian Genocide on April 21.
"We are tired of the story being told [about why Congress should
not adopt an Armenian Genocide resolution] but we are not tired of
fighting for the truth," Pelosi insisted as she spoke in front of
some 200 people, mostly Armenian Americans.
Speaker noted the importance of last month’s House Foreign Affairs
Committee vote on the Armenian Genocide resolution that "insisted
on the truth" and expressed hope that the vote was "of some comfort"
to Armenian Americans.
Pelosi added that she and other supporters of affirmation would not
rest until the federal government clearly recognizes the Armenian
Genocide.
