“When I visited Armenia as Speaker in 2022, our congressional delegation stood at Tsitsernakaberd and spoke clearly and unapologetically about the Armenian Genocide because truth matters,” former Speaker of the US House of Representatives Nancy Pelosi wrote on her microblog, X, referring to the US Vice President’s visit to the Genocide Memorial during her official visit to Armenia, deleting a post about the genocide.
The former US official emphasizes that this truth was confirmed when the House of Representatives overwhelmingly passed a bipartisan resolution recognizing the Armenian Genocide in 2019, and when President Biden showed moral leadership by formally recognizing it in 2021.
“A position that has been shamefully reversed by the Trump administration.” “It’s deeply disappointing, though not surprising, that the Vice President would delete a post acknowledging this truth. Erasing history dishonors the victims and weakens our commitment to human rights around the world,” he wrote.
