On March 3, 2014, U.S. Congressman Adam Schiff (D-CA), a lead sponsor of the Armenian Genocide Truth and Justice Resolution (H.Res.227), will host a Capitol Hill event honoring America's relief efforts to the victims of the Armenian Genocide, a campaign that helped launch a century of unparalleled U.S. leadership in meeting humanitarian needs around the world, according to the Facebook page of the Armenian National Committee of America (ANCA).

"Efforts to end Turkey's gag-rule and return the U.S. government to the right side of the American movement for a truthful and just resolution of the Armenian Genocide tend to flourish in the bright light of day, growing stronger in the sunshine that public scrutiny brings," said ANCA Executive Director Aram Suren Hamparian.

"It's for this reason, and many others, that we are so thankful to Congressman Schiff for hosting this Capitol Hill program and for seeking the answers that our Congress and our community deserve about the White House's decision to keep this unique Genocide-era artwork in the shadows and locked away from public view."
