Washington — US Congressman Joseph Crowley (D-NY), a member of the
House Committee on Foreign Affairs, commended his colleagues on the
panel for approving the Affirmation of the United States Record on
the Armenian Genocide Resolution. The legislation cleared committee
by a vote of 27 to 21.

"The world must never forget the genocide that occurred against
Armenians 92 years ago," Crowley said. "Today, the House Committee on
Foreign Affairs voted – with my support – to ensure that we never do.

By passing this resolution, we are finally officially recognizing
this heinous chapter in our world history and condemning the murder
of 1.5 million innocent."

Crowley, a co-sponsor of this resolution, has called for official
condemnation of the annihilation of 1.5 million Armenians that began
on April 24, 1915 and for recognition that the tragic killings were
genocide.
