Rep. Jim Costa (D-CA) News Release

“With the 100th anniversary of the Armenian Genocide upon us, I cannot
express the extent of my gratitude for the Pope’s formal recognition
of the devastating violence committed against the Armenian people. His
dedication to defending those who have faced great injustice brings
hope and inspiration to us all.

“The Pope’s actions show that it is high time for the Armenian
Genocide to be acknowledged worldwide. As such, I appreciate the
Pope’s leadership and will continue to take an active role in urging
Congress and the President to go on record recognizing this atrocity
once and for all.”
