America and the Armenian genocide, via WWW, viewed on September 11, 2020: ( the U.S. Senate joined the House of Representatives in voting overwhelmingly to recognize the Armenian genocide. Few issues have brought about any sort of bipartisan consensus in Congress recently, but this was one. In passing this resolution, Congress urged "education and public understanding of the facts of the Armenian genocide, including the American role in the humanitarian relief effort, and the relevance of the Armenian Genocide to modern-day crimes against humanity." This article takes up that challenge) <https://warontherocks.com/2020/08/humanitarian-intervention-or-humanitarian-imperialism-america-and-the-armenian-genocide/?fbclid=IwAR17u9V18jqTcxtR91aRP997o3CWXTOSZPgXw1j5m81TIKCPIheKt1G7uak> S.

Turkey has steadily refused to recognize that the events of 1915-16 constitute a genocide, even though most historians have concluded that the deportations and massacres do fit the definition of genocide) |
