U.S. SENATOR DIANNE FEINSTEIN PRAISES
REP. JACKIE SPEIER’S EFFORTS TO
COMBAT GENOCIDE DENIAL AND PROMOTE U.S.-ARMENIA RELATIONS
WASHINGTON, D.C. – U.S. Senator Dianne Feinstein (D-CA) praised
Congresswoman Jackie Speier (D-CA) for her “efforts [in] combatting genocide
denial and promoting the United States and Armenia’s shared democratic
principles…”
“Congratulations
to you on being honored at the Armenian Assembly of America’s 2019 National
Advocacy conference & Gala!” Senator Feinstein said.
“Throughout
your service in the House of Representatives, you have tirelessly worked
towards reinforcing the United States’ strong cultural and political
relationship with Armenia. The work you have accomplished as Co-Chair of the
Congressional Caucus on Armenian Issues has distinguished you as a dedicated
ally to Armenian communities in the U.S. and throughout the world. There is no
doubt that your efforts combatting genocide denial and promoting the United States
and Armenia’s shared democratic principles have qualified you to receive this
honor,” Senator Feinstein continued.
Congresswoman
Speier was honored for her exemplary work in the U.S. House of Representatives,
as well as her leadership, dedication, and passionate support of Armenia and
Artsakh. Armenian American leaders and activists throughout the United States
attended the Gala in Washington, D.C., which was part of the Armenian Assembly
of America's 2019 National Advocacy Conference.
“California
is lucky to have such a passionate leader, and I look forward to continuing to
work with you in the future,” Senator Feinstein added.
