 S. Res 150 is a similar landmark resolution that the U.S. Senate passed on December 12, 2019 by unanimous consent.With the passing of these two resolutions, the United States officially recognizes the Armenian Genocide after decades of recognition efforts by Armenian-American groups and the IAGS, and fierce opposition by denialist and historical revisionist forces representing Turkey on the world-stage.It is important to note that this is not the first time the US has recognized the genocide, such recognitions have been made in 1951, 1984, and by President Ronald Reagan in a 1981 speech addressing crimes against humanity.
