Eshoo tweeted "On the 105th Anniversary of the #ArmenianGenocide, we pause to remember the 1.5 million Armenians and hundreds of thousands of Assyrians, Greeks, Syriacs, Arameans, Maronites, and other Christians who were taken from us at the hands of the Ottoman Empire, including my ancestors. Last October the House ended 100 years of official silence and passed the Armenian Genocide Resolution to honor and commemorate those who were lost in the first genocide of the 20th Century and to reject efforts to deny the existence of this dark chapter of human history. This years 105th Anniversary comes during a devastating time for our world and nation with the COVID-19 Pandemic and yet we as Armenian Americans have for the first time in our nations history the opportunity to celebrate the passage of the Armenian Genocide Resolution.
On this anniversary, let us honor the memory of those who were lost by remaining vigilant to prevent similar atrocities from taking place today or in the future."

Ive been waiting for this moment since I first came to Congress 27 years ago. Between 1915 and 1923, 1.5 million Armenians, and hundreds of thousands of Assyrians, Greeks, Syriacs, Arameans, Maronites, and other Christians were systematically slaughtered at the hands of the Ottoman Empire. Members of my own family were among those murdered, and my parents fled with my grandparents to America. What all of the persecuted had in common was that they were Christians. 49 U.S. states and over 2 dozen countries, including 14 NATO allies, have passed Genocide Resolutions. Its time for Congress to act. There is an historic parallel today as Turkey is once again engaging in ethnic cleansing, this time against the Kurds in Syria. This resolution not only honors and commemorates my ancestors who perished but all those who were lost in the first genocide of the 20th Century. #ArmenianGenocide"

Eshoo posted the following to Facebook: "Im appalled by the Presidents decision to once again put the interests of foreign dictators ahead of U.S. national security and our foreign allies. Allowing Turkey to launch a military offensive in Syria is reckless and further confirms that the President does not understand the complexities of the Middle East. More civilian casualties, more displacement, and an emboldened Russia and ISIS will be the legacy of Donald Trumps foreign policy.
