It looks like congress might be coming to its senses. The Republican controlled congress attempted to pass this too, but Clinton asked Hastert not to bring it to a vote. iirc, Hastert finally agreed and it didn't make it to a vote.

WASHINGTON — A House vote to label the century-old deaths of Armenians as genocide was in jeopardy Tuesday after several Democrats withdrew their support and sounded alarms it could cripple U.S. relations with Turkey.
The loss of support is a major setback to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and other Democratic leaders on Capitol Hill, who have fiercely defended the resolution to Republicans and the Bush administration as a moral imperative in condemning the World War I-era killings of up to 1.5 million Armenians by Ottoman Turks.
