MS HC119

Affirms the University of Southern Mississippi's Student Government Association Senate resolution calling on Mississippi to recognize and denounce the Armenian Genocide of 1915-1923.

Notes that 43 of 50 states have already passed resolutions denouncing the Armenian Genocide, while Mississippi has not yet done so.

Documents historical evidence supporting genocide recognition, including Allied Powers' 1915 statement charging "crime against humanity," post-WWI Turkish court-martial convictions, and extensive archival documentation from multiple countries.

Highlights the role of U.S. Ambassador Henry Morgenthau in documenting the Ottoman Empire's "campaign of race extermination" against Armenians from 1913-1916.

Directs copies of the resolution to be furnished to University of Southern Mississippi officials, state legislators, student media, and university archives.
