Rationale/Background
NEA Resolution B-62 supports genocide acknowledgement and education. The Armenian genocide is a pivotal turning point in history and a prototype for the Holocaust, teaching the dangers of nationalism, crimes against humanity, racial and religious injustices, and life after genocide.
