Hawaii became 42nd US state to recognize the Armenian Genocide
/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Hawaii, home to President Barack Obama, became the 42nd US state to recognize the Armenian Genocide, with the State House of Representatives adopting a formal measure that both condemned this crime and noted Turkey's ongoing denial of this atrocity, ANCA communications director Elizabeth Chouljian told PanARMENIAN.Net.
Ankara recalled its ambassador to the United States for consultations after the US House of Representatives' Foreign Affairs Committee in today's session endorsed a resolution calling for an official US recognition of mass killings and expulsions of Armenians during the last days of the Ottoman Empire as ``genocide.''
