NEWS CENTER - The US Senate has voted unanimously to recognize the genocide of Armenians by the Ottoman empire.
 
The US Senate has voted unanimously to recognize the genocide of Armenians by the Ottoman empire.
 
The Senate resolution formally acknowledges the massacre of an estimated 1.5 million Armenians between 1915 and 1922 as an act of genocide.
 
Coming after a similar measure adopted in October by the House of Representatives, it marks the culmination of more than 50 years of campaigning by Armenian Americans, who called on the president to follow Congress’s lead.
 
On three occasions over recent weeks, different Republican senators took to the Senate floor to block the Armenian genocide resolution. But today President Trump appeared unable to persuade any of his Senate supporters to oppose the measure.
