https://abc7news.com/politics/us-house-of-representatives-passes-armenian-genocide-resolution/5657113/Each year, on April 24, Armenian Americans flood the streets of Los Angeles to commemorate Armenian Genocide Remembrance Day, a holiday that commemorates the period between 1915 and 1923 when the Ottoman Empire systematically killed 1.5 million Armenians. Forty-nine states—including California—recognize the event as a genocide, but the United States had long failed to officially do so. Until today.
A legally non-binding resolution affirming that the U.S. should recognize the genocide was overwhelmingly approved in the House today, where the measure was shepherded by L.A. congressman Adam Schiff, who said in a tweet, “We will not be party to genocide denial. We will not be silent. We will never forget.”
