Kurdish National Congress of North America , congratulates the Armenian National Committee
KNC
To:
ANCA and Armenian Communities
Armenian National Committee of America
1711 N Street NW
Washington, DC 20036
On Wednesday, October 10th, the United States House of Representatives
Committee on Foreign Affairs approved a resolution describing the killing of
Armenians by the Ottoman Empire during World War I as an act of genocide in a
27-21 voting. The United States House Foreign Affairs Committee adopted the
resolution the following day. The KNC-NA regards this as an important event in
eliminating denial and recognizing the truth of the crimes committed against
humanity.
We, the Kurdish National Congress of North America (KNC-NA), would like to
congratulate the Armenian National Committee of America and other Armenian
Communities for their success in spreading awareness and achieving their goal of convincing the US representatives to recognize the genocide.
The members of the KNC-NA believe in the rights of all nations and peoples and
the continued strive for liberties and peace. We hope that this recent event will
lead to pressures on the Turkish Republic to recognize all past and present
atrocities against Armenians, Assyrians, Kurds and other groups and will change
its direction to eventually find and implement peace and democracy. Although the recent resolution has no binding effect on the U.S. foreign policy, we hope that the recognition of the Armenian Genocide will not only serve as justice for the
Armenian peoples, but also as a step towards promoting a truer American aim of
supporting democracy in the Middle East.
The KNC-NA is in full solidarity with the Armenian people in their quest for
justice. We condemn all acts of war crime and genocide. We hope these
milestones will only serve as steps toward everlasting peace in our world.
Sincerely,
Kamal Artin, Chair of Public Relations Committee
Kurdish National Congress of North America
