Today, Rep. TJ Cox (CA-21) released a video commemorating the 105th Anniversary of the Armenian genocide. Rep. Cox voted for H.Res. 296, which officially recognized the Armenian Genocide.

"I am honored to speak today and be a voice against the denial of the Armenian Genocide. Denying a genocide isn't just an act of cowardice or malice, it's an invitation to make it happen again," said Rep. Cox. "To end the cycle of genocide we must educate the public of the history, formally recognize the crimes committed, and hold those who are guilty accountable."

Rep. Cox also submitted a full extension of remarks to the House on the commemoration of the Armenian Genocide.
