Ed Royce: Germany’s vote to recognize Armenian Genocide is a major event

U.S. House Foreign Affairs Committee Chairman Ed Royce applauded yesterday’s vote by the German Bundestag to recognize the Armenian Genocide, during which 1.5 million innocent lives were taken, the Armeian Assembly of America reported.

“Germany’s vote to recognize the Armenian Genocide is a major event.  Acknowledging this dark moment in history is a victory for human rights.  The annihilation of millions of Armenians was genocide.  Period.  And the 1.5 million innocent men, women, and children whose lives were taken deserve recognition,” he said.
