WASHINGTON – In a 23 to 22 vote, the House Foreign Relations Committee passed House Resolution 252, officially recognizing Armenian Genocide.
"If we hope to stop future genocides we need to admit to those horrific acts of the past. When Hitler had to convince his cohorts that the world would let them get away with it, he turned to them and said, ‘Who today speaks of the annihilation of the Armenians?'," said Sherman. "The last act of any genocide is genocide denial, and the first act of preventing the next genocide is to acknowledge past acts of genocide."
