According to the report of Asbarez.com, Armenian American celebrity, Kim Kardashian sent a “tweet” to 5.5 million of her fans, urging them to call Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) and urge her to schedule a vote on H.Res.252, the resolution recognizing 1915 incidents in Ottoman Empire as “Armenian genocide”.
This comes on the heels of Serj Tankian’s Facebook, Twitter and website postings on Wednesday calling on his fans to support the adoption of the legistation, reported the Armenian National Committee of America (ANCA), an Armenian lobbying organization in United States.
Issuing a message, Aram Hamparian, Executive Director of ANCA, congratulated Kardashian and Tankian over calling Speaker Pelosi to schedule a cote on the legistation that urges President Obama to recognize Armenian allegations regarding 1915 incidents. “We applaud Kim Kardashian, Serj Tankian and anti-genocide activists from across the country for calling on Speaker Pelosi to schedule a vote on the “Armenian genocide” Resolution,” said he.
According to the report of Tert.am, earlier this week, ANCA's Regional Chairs Aida Dimedjian and Stephen Mesrobian made a public appeal urging the Speaker to schedule a vote within next 10 days before the Congress adjourns.
