Costa Commends Pope’s Acknowledgement of Armenian Genocide

"With the 100th anniversary of the Armenian Genocide upon us, I cannot express the extent of my gratitude for the Pope's formal recognition of the devastating violence committed against the Armenian people. His dedication to defending those who have faced great injustice brings hope and inspiration to us all.

"The Pope's actions show that it is high time for the Armenian Genocide to be acknowledged worldwide. As such, I appreciate the Pope's leadership and will continue to take an active role in urging Congress and the President to go on record recognizing this atrocity once and for all."
