1.5 million Armenians were killed in the Armenian Genocide. That truth cannot be erased. I’ve fought to ensure the U.S. recognizes these crimes as genocide, and I will keep standing with the Armenian community against the Trump administration's efforts to rewrite history.

Calling things by their correct name is vital. Recognizing the Armenian Genocide should not be a political or partisan matter. The Trump admin, in its typical fashion, has blended immorality with incompetence.
Over a million people were murdered and starved to death in the Armenian Genocide, and when the highest-level visit yet from an American official to the eternal flame honoring its victims took place, the Trump Administration once again couldn't bring themselves to call this crime

Absolutely cowardly behavior from @VP @JDVance. You don't get to lay a wreath at the Armenian Genocide memorial and then delete your post mentioning the genocide in order to appease Erdoğan. Your actions are an insult to the memories of the victims.
Vice President Vance’s office deleted this tweet that broke with administration policy in its acknowledgment of the Armenian Genocide. 1/

The Armenian Genocide is a fact. I helped lead a bipartisan coalition calling for US recognition, which President Biden finally did in 2021. By deleting this post, @VP & @POTUS show they care more about their authoritarian buddies than the truth. Disgusting and pathetic.
The Admin just deleted another post about the Armenian Genocide. This is brazen genocide denial. An insult to the memory of the 1.5 million victims of the Armenian Genocide – and an affront to a community that fought tirelessly for decades to ensure recognition of that crime.

Thucydides does not offer the line, "The strong do what they can," as a neutral analysis of how international affairs operate. He offers it as an expression of the reckless arrogance that brought about the destruction of the Athenian Empire.
