‘Erasing history dishonors the victims’ – Nancy Pelosi on US Vice President

Former US House Speaker Nancy Pelosi commented on US Vice President JD Vance’s removal of a post on X regarding the Armenian Genocide.

“When I visited Armenia as Speaker in 2022, our Congressional delegation stood at Tsitsernakaberd and spoke clearly and unapologetically about the Armenian Genocide — because truth matters.

That truth was affirmed when the House overwhelmingly passed a bipartisan resolution recognizing the Armenian Genocide in 2019, and when President Biden showed moral leadership by formally acknowledging it in 2021 — a position shamefully reversed by the Trump Administration.

It’s deeply disappointing, though not surprising, to see the Vice President delete a post acknowledging that truth. Erasing history dishonors the victims and weakens our commitment to human rights everywhere,” Pelosi said.
