ArmInfo. US Congressmen appealed to the leadership of the country with a request to recognize the Armenian Genocide.
Congressman Smith, in particular, stressed that it is high time to recognize the Armenian Genocide. "The Armenian people are the only people subjected to genocide, which is not recognized and denied by the country that committed it. We must not succumb to the provocations of Turkey. Justice must triumph," said Congressman. Senator Menendez, stressed that the US should not place its national interests above the universal. Otherwise, we cannot respect ourselves as a people. We must recognize the Armenian Genocide."
Congressman Adam Schiff also stated that the denial of the Armenian Genocide does not come from the interests of the US or Turkey. He expressed the hope that US President Donald Trump will nevertheless recognize the Armenian Genocide. Congressman Frank Pallone said not only about support for the recognition of the Armenian Genocide, but also for Armenia's independence.
In addition, he raised the issue of the need to avoid double taxation and the resumption of the program "Millennium Challenges". The participants of the meeting also touched upon pogroms of Armenians in the Azerbaijani cities of Sumgait, Baku and Kirovabad.
