Relative to the Armenian Genocide.
This Senate Resolution formally recognizes the Armenian Genocide as a historical event that occurred between 1915 and 1923, during which over 1.5 million Armenians were systematically killed or forced to convert to Islam. The resolution documents the atrocities committed by the Ottoman Empire and later the Republic of Turkey, including massacres, forced displacement, and the confiscation of Armenian property and churches. It highlights the denial of these crimes by the modern Turkish government and acknowledges the humanitarian aid provided by the Near East Relief organization to Armenian refugees. As a Senate Resolution, this measure serves as a formal statement of recognition and remembrance rather than creating new laws or regulations.
