In the run-up to the April 13th Capitol Hill Armenian Genocide Commemoration, Armenian Assembly Executive Director Bryan Ardouny continued the Assembly’s outreach efforts on Capitol Hill. He met with Minority Whip Steny Hoyer and Congresswoman Jackie Speier.

 “I appreciate the Armenian Assembly’s leadership and the community’s continued activism and the important policy positions that are being articulated. Like so many of my colleagues, I look forward to the April 13 Armenian Genocide commemoration taking place under the auspices of the Congressional Caucus on Armenian Issues.  Together, we will continue to advance the cause of genocide affirmation and prevention, and thereby defeat denial,” said Speier.

Ardouny also emphasized the importance of robust assistance to Armenia and Nagorno-Karabakh. “We strongly urge Members of Congress and their staff to attend this year’s Armenian Genocide Commemoration this week on Capitol Hill,” said Bryan Ardouny.
