Morally good, but politically dangerous.
We are already having a hard time holding back Turkey not to intervene in Northern Iraq. Very well so. We have to keep Kurdistan intact. So it’s probably the worst time to anger the Turks with this resolution, but still it’s principally and morally the right thing to do.

Screw Turkey. You bring up northern Iraq? We saw them put to the test of being our ally and they failed when we wanted to enter Northern Iraq from their border.

1.5 million Armenians slaughtered. Think about that number.

Turkey has already had at least one incursion into Northern Iraq, and three of their soldiers were killed.

Anger the Turks? I don't care.

I disagree. It was not the current state of Turkey that perpetrated the “genocide” but the Ottoman Empire. I suppose that you also support the US apologizing to African nations for its role in slavery? Same thought process.
