This is something to celebrate for all Human Rights!!!!! I remember that this was a first genocide for the 20th Century. The lack of responsive to this genocide except for some noble Christian organizations, was a a green light signal for a later leader. I read that when some in the German leadership were questioning the plans for genocide that Hitler answered: “Did anyone care about the Armenians?” The Armenian Genocide paved the way for more Evil. I am so glad that our senate stood up for what is right! The Armenian people deserve this!
