OURS IN THE CONGRESS
The number of the supporters of the Resolution condemning Hrant Dink’s murder reached 59.
Congressmen Michele Bachman (Republican, Minnesota), Charles Gonzales (Democrat, Texas), Zech Space (Democrat, Ohio), and Tim Walberg (Republican Michigan) came to the decision to join the Resolution, after their meeting with the representatives of the American Congress of Armenians in Washington.
The Resolution authored by Congressman Joseph Crowley (Democrat, New York), condemns H. Dink’s murder, esteems his heritage, and appeals to Turkey to take relevant measures to protect the freedom of speech and to eliminate article 301 from the Criminal Code.
The Resolution is included in the agenda of the Foreign Relations Committee of the House of Representatives.
