The U.S. Senate has approved a resolution that recognizes the mass killings of Armenians by Ottoman Turks a century ago as genocide.
The resolution had been blocked three times at the request of the White House, but won unanimous approval Thursday.
Co-sponsored by Democratic Sen. Robert Menendez of New Jersey and Republican Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas, the nonbinding resolution affirms that the genocide occurred and that Turkey is responsible.
