It says NOTHING about the current government of Turkey.

It talks about Turkey in Section 2, paragraph 27

On June 5, 1996, the House of Representatives adopted an amendment to House Bill 3540 (the Foreign Operations, Export Financing, and Related Programs Appropriations Act, 1997) to reduce aid to Turkey by $3,000,000 (an estimate of its payment of lobbying fees in the United States) until the Turkish Government acknowledged the Armenian Genocide and took steps to honor the memory of its victims.

That’s about an AMENDMENT TO AN APPROPRIATIONS BILL WAY BACK IN 1996 WHEN THE REPUBLICANS CONTROLLED HOUSE.

House RESOLUTION 106 is entirely different from H.R. 3540.

RESOLUTIONS ARE NOT APPROPRIATIONS BILLS. Resolutions are simply SENSE OF THE HOUSE statements, i.e. they do not authorize money and they don’t go to the President for his signature.

Either you can’t read or you think I can’t.
