The Council of the District of Columbia has adopted a resolution recognizing April 24, 2025, as Armenian Genocide Remembrance Day, marking the 110th anniversary of the 1915 Armenian Genocide. The resolution highlights the systematic atrocities committed by the Ottoman Empire against the Armenian population, which resulted in the deaths of approximately 1.5 million Armenians, as well as significant numbers of Greeks, Assyrians, and other minorities. It acknowledges the historical context, including the humanitarian efforts led by Near East Relief, which provided critical assistance to those affected by the genocide, and the ongoing recognition of the Armenian Genocide by various U.S. governmental bodies and international entities.

The resolution emphasizes the importance of education and remembrance to prevent future atrocities and combat hatred and persecution. It calls for the transmission of the resolution to key educational leaders in the District to promote awareness and understanding of the Armenian Genocide among residents. The resolution takes effect immediately upon adoption, reinforcing the commitment of the Council to honor the memory of the victims and educate the community about this significant historical event.
