US four congressmen decline their signatures to support 'Armenian genocide'

Four Congress members-Republicans Denis Moor, Phil English, Adam Purtnam and Democrat David Scot officially declined to support the genocide resolution.

David Scot told the local press that he was unaware of the essence of the events of 1915 in Turkey while signing the resolution, APA reports.

"I was unaware of the history and the real essence of those events. I only signed it at Democrat Adam Shif's request and I joined the campaign for recognizing genocide. I have officially denied my signature after understanding the real essence of the events," the congressman said.
