Capitol Hill Celebration to take place in Historic Committee Hearing Room
United States Capitol
WASHINGTON, DC – Armenian Americans will join on Capitol Hill with the
Congressional Caucus on Armenian Issues on Tuesday, Oct.
25, to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the Republic of Armenia’s
rebirth as an independent country, reported the Armenian
NationalCommittee of America (ANCA).
The program, which will start at 6:30 pm, will be held in the historic
hearing room of the U.S. House Foreign Affairs Committee, 2172 Rayburn
House Office Building. This room has been the setting for many
watershed meetings on Armenian issues, including the approval of a
series of Armenian Genocide Resolutions and, just this past July 20th,
the adoption of a Return of Churches amendment calling on Turkey to
restore Christian religious properties to their rightful owners.
(Doors will open at 6:00 pm.)
The event is organized by the Congressional Caucus on Armenian Issues,
in coordination with the Embassy of the Republic of Armenia and
Armenian American organizations.
Additional information about this event is available on the ANCA’s
event page on Facebook:
