The U.S. House of Representatives is likely to take up a long-unsuccessful resolution to condemn the 1915 Armenian Genocide after House Democrats set it up to clear a key committee hurdle next week, this according to an October 24 article in The Hill.

Zack Budryk, referring to Yahoo News, writes that the House Rules Committee is expected to review the resolution as early as next week before it reaches the chamber floor.

“I’m proud that the Rules Committee will be considering this resolution next week,” Committee Chairman Jim McGovern (D-Mass.) told Yahoo News. “Not acknowledging the genocide is a stain on our human rights record and sends the exact wrong message to human rights abusers around the world.”

McGovern’s district in the Worcester area includes the oldest Armenian American community in the U.S.
