Despite stronger efforts by Armenian lobby in US for approval
of Armenian genocide resolution in the Congress, some congressmen
declined their signatures for supporting the resolution.

Four Congress members-Republicans Denis Moor, Phil English, Adam
Purtnam and Democrat David Scot officially declined to support the
genocide resolution.

David Scot told the local press that he was unaware of the essence of
the events of 1915 in Turkey while signing the resolution, APA reports.

"I was unaware of the history and the real essence of those events. I
only signed it at Democrat Adam Shif’s request and I joined the
campaign for recognizing genocide. I have officially denied my
signature after understanding the real essence of the events," the
congressman said.
