BOSTON, FEBRUARY 3, NOYAN TAPAN – ARMENIANS TODAY. The Boston based
coalition of Armenian and Jewish Community Leaders launched grassroots
petition urging all people to sign a letter to President Obama and
Congress that calls for swift passage of H. Res. 252, reported the
Armenian Assembly of America.
The Armenian American Action Committee of Massachusetts (ARAMAC-MA),
Armenian National Committee of Massachusetts, the Massachusetts Jewish
community and Assembly anti-genocide coalition partner Investor’s
Against Genocide were instrumental in launching the petition and
resource page.
Herman Purutyan, ARAMAC-MA State Chair and coalition member stated that
was an exciting collaboration of two communities, who have experienced
the ultimate crime against humanity, to stop future genocides wherever
they may occur.
“As two communities, Jewish and Armenian, we ask our fellow citizens
to let the President and Congress know that the recognition of the
Armenian Genocide is critically important, not only because it is
morally the right thing to do, but also it is necessary to prevent
such crimes from happening again.”
