Members of Congress urge passage of H.Res.252
U.S. Senators and Representatives called for increased vigilance and activism against genocide and genocide denial in floor statements commemorating the Armenian Genocide, reported the Armenian National Committee of America (ANCA).

Major themes of their remarks were the need for passage of the Armenian Genocide resolution (H.Res.252), which currently has 116 cosponsors, and the goal of ensuring that that the proper
recognition of past genocides be used to prevent future genocides.
