WASHINGTON, DC – Non-recognition of Armenian Genocide gives rise to impunity and the recurrence of genocides.
US Congressman Ed Royce, who is Chairman of the US House of Representatives Foreign Affairs Committee, stated the aforesaid during an evening event at the Capitol Hill, the Armenian News-NEWS.am reporter informed from Washington, DC.
Royce stressed that the international community has failed to hold Turkey accountable creating an air of impunity, and that we are witnessing the unleashing of this very impunity in the region.
In his words, arguing over the fact of the Armenian Genocide is useless, since the evidence and facts prove its reality.
The Congress member stated that we need to become a part of this heritage, and added that he will continue the tradition of Armenian Genocide recognition, which former US President Ronald Reagan had laid the foundation of.
