07/11/14 - Rep. Bentivolio made a Congressional Record statement on persecution of Copts, Assyrians, Armenians and other Christians in Egypt, Iran, and Midde East. Did not mention Turkey but talked of the Assyrian genocide of early 1900s. 'Assyrians have long been persecuted for their Christian beliefs, and they suffered greatly during the Assyrian genocide of the early 1900s when nearly 300,000 Assyrians were killed. Like many other Christian populations in the Middle East, they have fled and sought refuge elsewhere.' Said US should stop aiding ME countries that persecute Christians.
