Expressing the sense of the House of Representatives regarding United States policy recognizing the Assyrian Genocide.

H.Res. 550 is a resolution that would formally express the sense of the House of Representatives that the United States should officially recognize the Assyrian Genocide. The resolution commemorates the victims of the systematic campaign of violence against the Assyrian people by the Ottoman Empire between 1914 and 1923 and calls on the government of Turkey to acknowledge these historical events.

For citizens, this resolution does not create new laws or change federal spending; instead, it serves as a formal statement of U.S. foreign policy and historical record. Its primary impact is to provide official recognition to the Assyrian-American community and to align U.S. diplomatic positions with historical accounts of the genocide.
