With Bi-partisan support, the House Foreign Affairs Committee passed H.Res. 252, the Armenian Genocide Resolution.

Although the White House had remained silent, a last minute request was made to shelve the resolution – according to the aainc press release.

What is amazing is that this was even passed in spite of heavy lobbying from Turkish lobbying groups.  And why not – there are 21 countries that officially recognize the Armenian genocide:

1. Argentina
2. Armenia
3. Belgium
4. Canada
5. Chile
6. Cyprus
7. France
8. Germany
9. Greece
10. Italy
11. Lithuania
12. Lebanon
13. Netherlands
14. Poland
15. Russia
16. Slovakia
17. Sweden
18. Switzerland
19. Uruguay
20. Vatican City
21. Venezuela

America should know.  America does know.  It’s a matter of principle, not politics.
