Armenian Genocide Books Donated to U.S. Congressmen
WASHINGTON, DC – In anticipation of the commemoration of the 90th
anniversary of the Armenian Genocide and the consideration of the
Genocide Resolution by the incoming 109th Congress, the Gomidas
Institute has donated 500 copies of its latest publication, United
States Official Records on the Armenian Genocide 1915-17, to members
of the U.S. Senate and House of Representatives.
This initiative was taken at the request of a generous benefactor, and
made possible through the support of the Congressional Caucus on
Armenian Issues, as well as the Armenian National Committee in
Washington D.C.
“With the publication of this volume, the Gomidas Institute has, once
again, provided a vital resource for all those working to overcome the
Turkish government’s shameful campaign to pressure the United States
into complicity in Turkey’s denial of the Armenian Genocide,” said
ANCA Executive Director Aram Hamparian. “The comprehensive and
compelling evidence assembled in this book establishes the
U.S. response to the Armenian Genocide as a critical milestone in
American history – one that Turkey should not be allowed to erase.”
United States Official Records on the Armenian Genocide 1915-17 was
published by the Gomidas Institute and is the latest book in a growing
body of vital sources on the Armenian Genocide. The Institute is at
the cutting edge of such work, which is utilized by students, scholars
and journalists today.
This book will soon be joined by its sister publication, United States
Diplomacy on the Bosphorus: The Diaries of Ambassador Morgenthau
1913-1916. These two works are an invaluable record of the Armenian
Genocide in all its complexities, and they show how much the United
States government knew about the Armenian Genocide as early as the
summer of 1915. For more information please contact
