The US House foreign affairs committee has made a potentially historic move (Article).
They have passed a resolution that calls the Armenian Genocide exactly what it was. It is honest and direct.
Yes, it has severe ramifications for our relations with Turkey. But it is the right thing to do.
I urge people to write their reps and ask them to support this resolution when it reaches the full floor of the House. This is about doing what is right without backing down. As said in the article:
"We've been told the timing is bad," Democratic House member Gary Ackerman said in an emotional hearing that lasted nearly four hours. "But the timing was bad for the Armenian people in 1915."
