The House Resolution introduced by Representatives Sanchez and others designates April 24, 2025, as "Pennsylvania's Day of Remembrance of the Armenian Genocide of 1915-1923." This resolution acknowledges the tragic events during which the Turkish-Ottoman Empire systematically exterminated 1.5 million Armenians, aiming to erase their culture and identity. It highlights the importance of remembering these atrocities, as they serve as a reminder of the need for vigilance against future acts of genocide. The resolution also notes the historical context, referencing Adolf Hitler's chilling remark about the Armenians before the Holocaust, emphasizing the significance of public awareness in preventing similar crimes against humanity.

Furthermore, the resolution recognizes the contributions of Armenian Americans in Pennsylvania, who have enriched the state across various sectors, including business, academia, and the arts. By officially designating this day of remembrance, the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania aims to honor the memory of the victims and promote awareness of the Armenian genocide, reinforcing the commitment to preventing such atrocities in the future. A copy of the resolution will be sent to the Armenian National Committee of America to further support this cause.
