Congresswoman Niki Tsongas has pledged her unwavering support to Armenia and is not going to stop now, Armenian Weekly writes.

“As a member of the Armenian Congressional Caucus, I look forward to continue promoting the mutual interest of our two countries and celebrate our rich history together,” she said.

She also stated that would continue working to see that “the mass murders by the Ottoman Empire against the Armenians are appropriately recognized as genocide in Congress.”

Tsongas was also updated on the $6 million genocide memorial currently being built on the Rose Kennedy Greenway in Boston, as well as a genocide monument (currently in the planning stages) to be erected by Lowell City Hall.

Congresswoman also supported U.S. investments that have helped spur Armenia’s economic growth and advance the development of Armenia’s democratic institutions while also helping the people of Armenia survive, despite Turkish and Azeri blockades.

According to the newspaper, ANC members presented Tsongas with an enlarged photograph of Lowell, which will proudly hang in her Washington office.
