Soloist of "System of a Down" Serj Tankian touched on the decision of the U.S. House of Representatives to pass the resolution to recognize the Armenian Genocide. Tankian made a post on his Facebook page, thanking the House for voting in favor of the resolution.
"Thank you to the House of Representatives in the US for properly characterizing US history and the Armenian genocide in the memory of my grandparents and all their relatives who perished. Genocide should never be used for political expediency or to sell a despot more helicopters. This will make more difficult for Turkey to further play the US State Dept on this issue though I’m sure they will try. It is important that there are economic sanctions tied to Turkeys illegal incursion into Syria as well. Senate resolution is next," wrote Tankian.
