ACKNOWLEDGING AND URGING TURKEY AND IRAQ TO RECOGNIZE THE GENOCIDE COMMITTED AGAINST ASSYRIANS BETWEEN 1915-1933.

This is a non-binding Senate Resolution (SR 90) introduced by Hawaii's 2025 legislature. It formally acknowledges the genocide against Assyrians committed by Ottoman Turks between 1915-1923 and by Iraqi forces in 1933 (the "Seyfo" genocide). The resolution urges the governments of Turkey and Iraq to recognize this genocide and grant historians access to relevant historical archives. It does not create new laws or impose requirements on Turkey or Iraq, but serves as a formal statement supporting recognition efforts by international bodies like the European Parliament.
