this crime against humanity.

adopted by overwhelming margins of 40 to 7 and 35 to 11, respectively.
"This is a Turkish Ottoman crime of brutality and death called genocide

by our government is long overdue. All eyes are o-n House Speaker

Armenian Genocide legislation," stated, Hygo Ohannessian Chairwoman of
