U.S. officials say President Joe Biden is preparing to formally acknowledge that the systematic killing and deportation of hundreds of thousands of Armenians by the Ottoman Empire in modern-day Turkey more than a century ago was genocide. https://t.co/qVDR522i4J
President Biden is expected to declare the Ottoman massacre of Armenians in the early 20th century a genocide, a step that would further inflame tensions with Turkey https://t.co/JQLvp7Fmn6
In all of American history, there’s no example of a foreign gag-rule that’s lasted longer than Ankara’s century-long campaign of threats against honest US condemnation & commemoration of Ottoman Turkey’s WWI-era #genocide of Armenians and other Christians.

@POTUS Mr. President, it is time to officially recognize the #ArmenianGenocide! @VP
Editorial: President Biden, call it by its name: the Armenian genocide https://t.co/A6REvpSXmr
To date, administrations of both parties have been silent on the truth of the Armenian Genocide. Proud to stand with the Armenian community and join @SenatorMenendez in calling on @POTUS to affirm the historical facts of this genocide.
I urge @RepAdamSchiff to support a letter to the U.S. Administration to ensure a closer relationship between U.S. and Armenia, and to send urgent humanitarian aid to Artsakh.
I don’t think we all realize just how dangerous this whitewashing of the fascist dictatorial regime’s war crimes by @amnesty and @hrw are. These “reports” can be used by international courts to verify info and build cases. Their downplaying of Azeri war crimes is no coincidence.
Today is Erik’s 19th birthday. Erik is still in captivity by azerbaijanis. We haven’t forgotten about you Erik.
Happy birthday, we wish for your safe return as soon as possible, you are in our prayers.
free the captives!
Dear @andizeisler Azerbaijan is holding 120+ Armenian POWs & dragging their return. Video evidence suggests they are being tortured & humiliated. At least 4 of the captives are women. God knows what they are going through.Please use your voice #UntilTheyAreHome#FreeArmenianPOWs

If Democrats take control of the U.S. Senate - as a result of today’s voting in Georgia - Senator Bob Menendez (A+ ANCA rating) will become Chairman of the powerful Senate Foreign Relations Committee.
