08/14 - Rep. Wolf cosigned a letter to President Obama on minorities in Iraq, urging the President to stop the destruction by ISIS of Christians, Yezidis, and other minorities in Iraq. http://www.anca.org/assets/pdf/080114_Eshoo_Obama_christians.pdf

04/25/13 - Remarks submitted for the Congressional Record - Mr. Speaker, this week marked the 98th anniversary of the Armenian genocide.

I have long been a cosponsor of a resolution introduced in multiple sessions of Congress which reaffirms the United States record on the Armenian genocide.

The Armenian genocide, in which 1.5 million perished, is widely recognized as the 20th century's first genocide. Raphael Lemkin, the Jewish legal scholar who coined the word genocide and tirelessly advocated for international law defining it and preventing it, was driven largely by what happened to the Armenians.

Since that time, the world has witnessed unfathomable horrors during the Nazi-perpetrated Holocaust and subsequent genocides in Bosnia, Cambodia, Rwanda and Sudan. And too often, the world has been silent in the face of such brutality despite claims of ``Never Again.''

In fact, Sudanese president Omar Bashir, an internationally-indicted war criminal charged with genocide and crimes against humanity, continues to travel the globe with virtual impunity.

Adolph Hitler, in describing his murderous plans and seeking to silence those with reservations, famously said, ``Who, after all, speaks today of the annihilation of the Armenians?''

There is power in speaking the truth, even about atrocities that occurred nearly a century ago, so that others with evil aims will not be empowered by our silence.

Sadly President Obama, despite his campaign promises, has once again failed to characterize the brutal slaughter of one and half million people as genocide.

01/13 - Rep. Wolf sent a letter to over 300 Christian leaders asking them to help protect Christians in Middle East and support his bill for a special envoy. http://wolf.house.gov/press-releases/wolf-calls-on-religious-leaders-in-west-to-speak-out-on-behalf-of-persecuted-church-globally
