OTTAWA - The House of Commons has reversed a long-standing policy and passed a resolution denouncing the Turks for committing genocide against Armenians in 1915.
The vote passed easily, 153-68.
The motion said: "That this House acknowledges the Armenian genocide of 1915 and condemns this act as a crime against humanity."
For decades consecutive Canadian governments have dodged the sensitive issue by calling what happened in eastern Turkey a "tragedy," stopping well short of referring to the events as "genocide."
