Turkey has never been a true ally of the US. Pass this resolution now. Late recognition of the first genocide of the 20th century is better than complete denial.

What an incredible "Sudden Justice"! For decades the Armenian geinocide was like talking at deaf ears but suddenly pop up again in this year of turbulence! How many Americans ever heard of this chapter of history when Christian Armenian women were cruxified on a cross? Or is someone wanna to leave NATO?

The timing has to be a warning to Turkey.
Erdogan said just recently that northern Syria is suitable for Arabs to live there, and not for ordinary Kurds. It seems that Turkey would like to push out all of the Kurdish inhabitants of northern Syria, not just the Kurdish fighters. More than 100,000 have fled already. Under that continued scenario we will inevitably get ethnic cleansing, with the real possibility of fresh genocide.
This US resolution, plus the threat of sanctions, must surely be to try and prevent such a possibility.
