re: #119 Hecuba’s daughter
Armenians are European, Christian, and white — so maybe not so surprising?
Also, recognition of the Armenian Genocide cuts across ideological lines for the most part - it’s pretty well-documented (and was, even at the time of its occurrence) even though the Turks still passionately argue that it never happened, largely out of a sense of national pride.
There’s also a growing sense that Turkey is no longer the stalwart and reliable ally that it once was and Congressional recognition of the Armenian Genocide is intended to send a message to Erdoğan.
