Whereas, 1.5 million people were massacred by the Turkish government beginning in 1915; and

Whereas, the U.S. Congress formally passed resolutions recognizing the Armenian Genocide in 2019; and

Whereas, Turkey has continually denied the genocide;

Therefore, be it resolved, that the CFT will formally recognize the Armenian Genocide; and

Be it finally resolved, that the CFT will publish an article educating members on the Armenian Genocide, including classroom resources.
