Armenia welcomes Iowa state recognition of the Armenian Genocide
Armenia’s foreign ministry welcomed the recognition of the Armenian Genocide by the U.S. Iowa state.
“We welcome Iowa's recognition of the Armenian Genocide by Proclamation of the Governor of state of Iowa, United States,” reads the message posted on the country’s MFA official Twitter account.
To remind, Iowa Governor Kim Reynolds issued on Friday a powerful proclamation commemorating the Ottoman Turkish Government’s murder of over 2.5 million Armenians, Greeks, Assyrians and Syriacs, making the Hawkeye State the 47th U.S. state to properly recognize and condemn the Armenian Genocide.
