The following recent scholarship published on Armenian-Ottoman history demonstrate the inappropriateness of legislating history, as some members of Congress frequently intend to do. This history has neither been fully researched, nor authoritatively written. Congressional resolutions do injustice to the diversity of scholarship on this issue in favor of endorsing a defect and biased narrative. TCA renews its support for the establishment of an independent historical commission to examine this painful chapter in Turkish-Armenian history and invites all interested parties and particularly the United States Congress and Administration to fully support the formation of this commission.
