ArmInfo. A bipartisan group of legislators from both chambers of the US Congress sent a letter to US President Donald Trump, in which she expressed disappointment with the statement of the head of the country on April 24 and asked to recognize the Armenian Genocide.According to the Armenian Assembly of America (AAA), the letter was initiated by a member of the US House of Representatives, co-chairman of Armenian issues Jackie Speyer and supported by another 28 other congressmen, including Adam Schiffham, Gus Biliraksem (R-FL), Frank Pallonem Jr. (D-NJ), Peter King (R-NY).
The AAA welcomed this initiative from Speyer. "We highly appreciate the ongoing efforts to assert the fact of the Armenian Genocide in the Ottoman Empire, especially given the alarming statement by the authoritarian leader of Turkey that the relocation of Armenians in 1915 was" reasonable. "Mass deportation of one nation can never be reasonable - not for 104 years back, not today, "said Assembly Executive Director Brian Arduni.In a letter to Trump, congressmen hope that in the end he will nevertheless consider the opportunity and pay tribute to the innocent victims of the events of 1915.
