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, an act recognized as a crime against humanity. The resolution emphasizes the importance of remembering these atrocities to prevent future genocides and highlights the historical context, including Adolf Hitler's reference to the Armenians before the Holocaust, underscoring the need for vigilance against such acts.

Additionally, 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 designating this day of remembrance, the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania aims to promote public awareness of the Armenian genocide and honor the resilience of the Armenian people, particularly following their emergence as a free and democratic republic after decades of Soviet oppression. A copy of the resolution will be sent to the Armenian National Committee of America to further support this acknowledgment.
