An IDC Summit supporter since its inception in 2014 and cosponsor since 2016, the ANCA has lent its voice to a series of policy-driven panel discussions in the first two days of the conference, with the third day dedicated to Congressional meetings. The convention’s advocacy agenda features strong support for a just resolution of the Armenian Genocide and will include lobbying visits in support of H.Res.220, a bipartisan measure seeks to apply the lessons of the Armenian Genocide in preventing new atrocities across the Middle East, as well as efforts to advance security and stability in Lebanon; emergency relief for victims of genocide in Iraq and Syria; allies and accountability in the Middle East; and legal punishment for ISIS, al-Qaeda, and other perpetrators of genocide.
