Human Rights Activists Rally Against Congressman Robert Wexler in Rhode Island
Tuesday, October 30, 2007 (681 reads)
On Friday, October 26th, Congressman Robert Wexler (D-FL-19) was met by protesters as he entered the Hilell House at Brown University during a parent's weekend dinner where he was to
address the crowd about foreign affairs and the Middle East reported the Providence chapter of the Armenian Youth Federation (AYF).
Wexler, Co-chair of the Turkish Caucus, voted both in 2005 and 2007 against the Armenian Genocide resolution (H. Res. 316 & H. Res. 106) during the House Foreign Affairs Committee markups. He
carefully avoided using the word genocide in describing what befell the Armenians from 1915-1923. "Congressman Robert Wexler's ongoing denial of the Armenian Genocide needs to be stopped. His inability to call what happened to the Armenians what it was, a genocide, shows us how vulnerable he is to outside foreign pressure," commented Levon Attarian, Central Executive member of the Armenian
Youth Federation.
