That the United States Government officially recognize the Genocide of the Armenian People in the years 1915-1917

Created by M.M. on February 08, 2015

We ask that the United States government officially recognize the Armenian Genocide. 43 of the 50 states acknowledge the massacre of 1.5 million Armenians from 1915 to 1917 as a genocide and yet we as a nation have not recognized it as such. Why is it that to ratify an amendment it takes 38 states and yet 43 agree nothing happens. President Obama as a senator said this,"the Armenian Genocide is not an allegation, a personal opinion, or a point of view, but rather a widely documented fact supported by an overwhelming body of historical evidence. The facts are undeniable... As a senator, I strongly support passage of the Armenian Genocide Resolution and as President I will recognize the Armenian Genocide", and yet for almost 7 years he has done nothing to support to support his claims.
