Is this a political stunt in reaction to recent developments in Turkey and their relation to Trump? Absolutely. Does it do nothing in reality? Absolutely. Is this long overdue? Same answer as the previous two question.

Quote:The House passed a resolution on Tuesday officially recognizing and rebuking the Ottoman Empire's genocide against the Armenian people and rejecting any efforts to enlist the U.S. government in denying that the genocide took place.

Proponents of the long-delayed measure, which passed in a 405-11 vote, argue that it's a necessary and overdue step in providing justice for Armenians. Three lawmakers voted present.
