He refused to call the systematic murder of 1.5 million Armenians what it was genocide. Instead of telling the truth, he bowed to authoritarian pressure from Turkey. Anything less than full recognition is complicity. Our support for the Armenian people must be clear, unwavering, and unapologetic not hidden behind weak, evasive statements."
