ANCA: INDIVIDUAL WITH STRONG RECORD IN SUPPORT OF ARMENIAN GENOCIDE RECOGNITION WILL SERVE AS SECRETARY OF STATE
President-elect Barack Obama’s choice of Senator Hillary Clinton (D-NY) to serve as his Secretary of State was welcomed by the Armenian National Committee of America (ANCA).
"We extend our thanks to President-elect Obama for this choice and our congratulations to Senator Clinton on her appointment to our nation’s top diplomatic post," said Aram Hamparian, Executive Director of the ANCA. "We are certainly pleased to see that, for the first time in recent memory, an individual with a strong record in support of Armenian Genocide recognition will serve as America’s Secretary of State."
During her tenure in the U.S. Senate, Hillary Clinton has both called upon President Bush to honor his campaign pledge to recognize the Armenian Genocide, and also cosponsored every Armenian Genocide Resolution since coming into office in 2001.
"I believe the horrible events perpetrated by the Ottoman Empire against Armenians constitute a clear case of genocide," Mrs. Clinton said on January 24, 2008.
