The United States Senate unanimously passed S. Res. 150, led by U.S. Senators Cory Gardner (R-CO), Bob Menendez (D-NJ), and Ted Cruz (R-TX), to officially recognize and remember the Armenian Genocide. This was the first time in history the U.S. Senate recognized the Armenian Genocide. Gardner has also co-sponsored similar resolutions in the 114th Congress and the 115th Congress. The Armenian Genocide was one of the greatest crimes against humanity, and I am glad the United States is finally on the record recognizing this incontrovertible fact, said Senator Gardner. As many as 1.5 million men, women, and children were brutally murdered, leaving lasting scars on the families and communities affected. This resolution honors the memory of those who were killed and helps us resolve to never allow such an atrocity to ever happen again. S. Res. 150 is cosponsored by: U.S. Senators Chris Van Hollen (D-MD), Debbie Stabenow (D-MI), Ed Markey (D-MA), Elizabeth Warren (D-MA), Gary Peters (D-MI), Dianne Feinstein (D-CA), Ron Wyden (D-OR), Tammy Duckworth (D-IL), Marco Rubio (R-FL), Jack Reed (D-RI), Chuck Schumer (D-NY), Tom Udall (D-NM), Kamala Harris (D-CA), Sheldon Whitehouse (D-RI), Bernie Sanders (D-VT), Amy Klobuchar (D-MN), Ben Cardin (D-MD), Cory Booker (D-NJ), John Cornyn (R-TX), Mitt Romney (R-UT), Bob Casey (D-PA), Michael Bennet (D-CO), Jacky Rosen (D-NV), Sherrod Brown (D-OH), Catherine Cortez Masto (D-NV), and Rob Portman (R-OH). ### Cory Gardner is a member of the U.S. Senate serving Colorado. He sits on the Energy & Natural Resources Committee, the Foreign Relations Committee, the Commerce, Science, & Transportation Committee, and is the Chairman of the Subcommittee on East Asia, the Pacific, and International Cybersecurity Policy. | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
