This campaign first took the shape of the activities of the Armenian terrorist organizations against Turkey and later turned into political as third country parliaments have begun to accept Armenian genocide resolutions negatively affecting Turkey’s relations with these countries. US Congress position on the subject has become more important after the parliaments of many European countries have adopted “Armenian Genocide” resolutions. This article aims at bringing to the attention of the readers the struggle between senators Dole and Byrd on an Armenian genocide resolution presented in the US Senate in 1990.
