US Congressmen Call Trump to Accurately Commemorate the Armenian Genocide on April 24

The leadership of the Congressional Armenian Caucus Wednesday called on their House colleagues to join them in pressing President Donald Trump to reject Turkey’s gag-rule by honestly and accurately commemorating the Armenian Genocide this April 24th, reported the Armenian National Committee of America, Horizon Weekly reports.
"Recep Erdogan is undermining U.S. interests, insulting U.S. allies, and threatening U.S. forces, yet he’s still granted a veto over U.S. policy on the Armenian Genocide," said ANCA Executive Director Aram Hamparian. "American complicity in Ankara’s genocide denial is a relic of the Cold War. It didn’t make sense then, and it makes even less sense now. "Take a moment today to ask your U.S. Representatives to demand an end to Turkey’s gag-rule."
