Joining Mr. Pilavjian and Mr. Minasian in offering remarks were ANCA New Jersey advocate Ani Tchaghlasian and ANCA Government Affairs Director Raffi Karakashian.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cVera and I were pleased to host Senator Menendez in our home. It was particularly exciting to see the broad diversity of individuals who joined together for this event,\u201d said Pilavjian. \u201cIt showed the solidarity of the Armenian American community, not only with the Senator, but a renewed commitment to the Armenian issues that are worthy of pursuing in Washington.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cArmenian Americans in my home state of New Jersey and across the U.S. stand with Senator Menendez &#8211; just as he has stood with us &#8211; time and again &#8211; rallying for justice for the Armenian Genocide, self-determination for Artsakh and stronger U.S.-Armenia ties,\u201d said Ani Tchaghlasian, who has been a longtime ANCA advocate in the Garden State.  \u201cWhether it is introducing legislation, speaking out at committee hearings or supporting local initiatives, Senator Menendez has stood by principle.  We look forward to his continued service in the U.S. Senate &#8211; and to working together to advancing Armenian American priorities and values.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Speakers recounted Senator Menendez\u2019s stellar record of support on key community concerns, beginning with his election as mayor in Union City in 1986, his time in the New Jersey State legislature from 1988 to 1992, and his 1992 election to the U.S. House of Representatives.  As a member of the House International Relations Committee, then-Congressman Menendez voted in favor of the Armenian Genocide Resolution in 2000 and 2005, setting the stage for future House consideration of the measure.<\/p>\n<p>Robert Menendez\u2019s service in the House is perhaps best remembered for his leadership in maintaining the Section 907 restriction on U.S. assistance to Azerbaijan.  During an hour-long floor debate in 1997, House Appropriations Committee Chairman Bob Livingston, as part of his pro-Baku drive to lift these restrictions on Azerbaijan, vilified the Armenian American community, questioning its right to participate in the American political process.  In response, Congressman Menendez spoke eloquently in favor of maintaining Section 907, stood strong with the people of Artsakh in their quest for freedom, and called efforts to silence the Armenian American community\u2019s voice in the halls of Congress \u201coutrageous.\u201d  Chairman Livingston later resigned in disgrace and accepted millions of dollars in lobbying fees from the governments of Turkey and Azerbaijan as their chief mouthpiece in Washington, DC.<\/p>\n<p>Elected to the U.S. Senate in 2006, Senator Menendez often took the lead in questioning U.S. ambassadorial nominees to Turkey and Azerbaijan regarding their positions on the Armenian Genocide and efforts to mediate a lasting peace for the Republic of Artsakh (Nagorno Karabakh).  And, when nominees crossed-the-line into Armenian Genocide denial or showed undue bias toward Azerbaijan, Senator Menendez resisted White House and Senate leadership pressure, placing a \u201chold\u201d on the candidates, ultimately blocking nominee Dick Hoagland from becoming U.S. Ambassador to Armenia, and stopping a full-term appointment for Matt Bryza as U.S. Ambassador to Azerbaijan.<\/p>\n<p>In 2014, as Chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, Senator Menendez led the Committee passage of the Armenian Genocide Resolution, with bipartisan support.  Senators John McCain (R-AZ) and Marco Rubio (R-FL) joined all the panel&#8217;s Democrats in voting for the measure, making it the first time in 25 years that a Senate committee had reaffirmed the Armenian Genocide.  The Armenian Genocide Resolution (S.Res.136) currently under Senate consideration, which Senator Menendez has spearheaded, has 16 cosponsors to date.<\/p>\n<p>Photos from the evening with Senator Menendez on available on the ANCA Facebook page:<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/pg\/ancagrassroots\/photos\/?tab=album&#038;album_id=10155628280621859\">https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/pg\/ancagrassroots\/photos\/?tab=album&#038;album_id=10155628280621859<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8211;
