The resolution recognizes the Assyrian Genocide, which occurred during the First World War when the Ottoman Empire killed at least 300,000 Assyrians alongside over one million Armenians, Greeks, and other Christians through mass executions, death marches, and other atrocities. It emphasizes the importance of acknowledging this historical injustice, as denial of genocide is seen as a precursor to future atrocities. The resolution also highlights the significant displacement of the Assyrian population, many of whom have found refuge in the United States, including a notable community in Arizona.

The resolution calls on the United States government to officially recognize and commemorate the Assyrian Genocide, reject any denial of such atrocities, and urge Turkey to acknowledge its historical role in these events. Additionally, it encourages education and public awareness regarding the Assyrian Genocide and its relevance to contemporary issues of human rights and genocide prevention. The resolution was unanimously adopted by both the Arizona House and Senate on March 15, 2023.
