Two senators Michael Bennet and Bob Casey joined the co-sponsors of the Armenian Genocide resolution.

In April, Senate Foreign Relations Committee Ranking Democrat Bob Menendez (D-NJ) and former presidential candidate Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX) introduced Armenian Genocide legislation reaffirming proper U.S. recognition and remembrance of this crime and rejecting U.S. complicity in its denial, reported the Armenian National Committee of America.

On October 29, with 405 votes “in favor” and 11 “against”, the US House of Representatives passed the resolution recognizing the Armenian Genocide by an overwhelming vote.
