Armenian Genocide denial produced the Holocaust at the time, repeating the history. Armenian Caucus Co-Chair Representative Edward Royce made such statement visiting the Armenian Genocide Memorial on 24 April.
He said the world community is well aware of what happened in early 20th century in the Ottoman Empire and recognizes the Armenian Genocide fact. "The history textbooks at California schools contain a chapter on the Armenian Genocide," the US Congress Representative said.
However, he could not say if the US President Barack Omaba will say the word "genocide" in his annual address to Armenians as he had promised to do in the course of his presidential campaign. Royce recalled that President Reagan did it at the time.
These days a delegation of US congressional representatives is in Armenia to visit the Armenian Genocide Memorial. The congressional representatives have already laid flowers on the Memorial and planted trees in the alley "Tsitsernakaberd" where the Genocide Memorial is located .
