The resolution recognizes April 24, 2025, as "Armenian Genocide Remembrance Day" in the State of Rhode Island, commemorating the atrocities committed against the Armenian people by the Ottoman Empire from 1915 to 1923, which resulted in the deaths of approximately 1.5 million Armenians and the expulsion of many others from their ancestral homeland. It highlights historical acknowledgments of the genocide, including statements from the Allied Powers during World War I, the United States Ambassador's description of the events as a "campaign of race extermination," and the inclusion of the Armenian Genocide in the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum. The resolution also references ongoing tensions between Armenia and Azerbaijan, particularly regarding the Republic of Artsakh, and the recent military aggressions by Azerbaijan against Armenia.
Furthermore, the resolution calls upon the President of the United States and Congress to urge the Turkish government to acknowledge the genocide and make restitution for the losses incurred by the Armenian people. It expresses sympathy to the Armenian-American community in Rhode Island, affirming that the memory of the genocide will be honored and never forgotten. The resolution mandates the Secretary of State to transmit certified copies to various officials and organizations, ensuring that the recognition of this historical event is communicated widely.
