The fact of Armenian Genocide should be recognized once and for all, U.S. Representatives David Trott, who introduced a new draft law recognizing and condemning the Armenian Genocide and prevention of new genocides in the House of Representatives, told Voice of America.
“I think it is very important for the U.S. States to end this discussion once and for all, recognizing what happened. It is also important for the Armenian people,” Trott said.
According to him, such bills have been previously introduced in Congress, but did not get the necessary majority.
“These bills never reached the president's table for signing. Being a senator, Obama recognized the Armenian Genocide, but, for some reasons, he changed his position as a president,” the congressman said.
In turn, Congressional Armenian Caucus Co-Chair Frank Pallone noted that today the Armenian Genocide is known and recognized all over the world more than ever.
“We are determined to achieve recognition of the Armenian Genocide in Congress. I do not know when this will happen, but I do not doubt that it is inevitable. I will continue to support this process,” Pallone said.
He also recalled that members of the Congressional Armenian Caucus, several dozen congressmen sent a letter to the White House, urging President Donald Trump to recognize the Armenian Genocide with a special statement on April 24, following the example of President Ronald Reagan.
