"Armenian Americans – and all those committed to forever ending the cycle of genocide - welcome Chairman Biden’s principled support for Congressional reaffirmation of the Armenian Genocide, and thank him for his years of leadership in helping to put America back on the right side of this compelling moral and foreign policy issue," said ANCA Executive Director Aram Hamparian. Senator Biden’s decision yesterday brings the official Senate cosponsor list to 34.
